Thriller, Comedy
3.0*/5.0*

Some genres are notoriously difficult to combine, so much that few films ever dared to take a stab. Dark comedy and thriller is one of those extremely tricky combinations, and while Windfall is a brave and laudable attempt at bringing the two together, the result ends up feeling a bit half-hearted.

The performances are solid and the start of the film is pretty funny, but as soon as McDowell tries to add a drama and thriller elements the tension starts to waver. There are too many dead moments and the film is a little too one-note. The ending is a nice touch, but it's a case of too little, too late. Not a terrible film, just not a resounding success.
