They are chased by various money seekers as well as by Noel's rival Louis.

Mediocre film about a lottery in which the winner is a free pass to be killed. The premise reminded me a bit of The Purge, but a comedic version. The humor seemed rather forced, but it gradually got better. John Cena does a nice job. A narrow 2.5 stars.

I understand the (negative) comments, but I had a great time and sat with a big grin on my face for almost the entire movie and laughed out loud every now and then 
Tip: don't watch the trailer until the end. If you can appreciate the first few jokes, you won't go wrong with this movie.
I found the jokes to be vulgar, but quite witty.
And the action scenes were - perhaps - over the top, but generally well conceived and executed.

Weak action comedy. The story is far from original and ultimately makes no sense, but hey, that's still acceptable within this genre. The execution is quite monotonous. Action and humor alternate well, but it's very much the same. Due to the lightness, the action scenes are not at all interesting. The humor is also of a very predictable level with a single successful joke that makes the corners of the mouth move a little. Cena does quite well, but Awkwafina quickly causes irritation (you apparently have to like that). Unfortunately, she plays the leading role, which makes the film a real torture. Visually quite successful as a colorful whole with a nice soundtrack. 2.0
