Based on a story by bestselling author Jo Nesbo this
Norwegian film starts with a Tarantino-esque shoot-out in a strip-club. The
story of four co-workers winning a mega-money jackpot on football betting is
then gradually revealed.
Oscar runs a factory that employs ex-offenders and he
reluctantly agrees to join a betting syndicate with three of the workers. When
their results come up it isn’t long before greed, rivalry and some
long-forgotten grudges begin to influence the behaviour of the group.
The result is a violent and often hilarious film that keeps
the viewer guessing how things will turn out.
Jackpot is available on DVD in the UK now.
Ric’s Rating: Highly Recommended
