Jackpot: Movie Review
Jackpot: Movie Review
Cast: Kyrre Hellum, Mads Ousdal, Henry Mestad, Arthur Berning, Andreas Cappelen
Director: Magnus Martens
However, while the investigating detective Solør is convinced Oscar's guilty, Oscar begins to explain what happened - and how it all came from the winning of a football pool which netted four men over 1.7 million kroner and caused all manner of divisions.
Jackpot is as dark a black humoured story as they come - it's also incredibly amusingly dry throughout.

But there's a very tongue in cheek feel to some of the extreme violence throughout; when one ganglord's killed in the shoot-out, his final words to a co-worker in the porn shop is to plead with him to go and pick up his son. To which, the co-worker asks if he'll need written permission to do that.
It's that kind of off-kilter, slightly left-field view which permeates the slickly produced piece and thanks to a snappy running time, touches of Fargo (think chippers) Jackpot is a twisty, albeit slight shaggy dog story with a fun pay-off that's as pulpy and in keeping with the genre as you'd expect.
