**While not a masterpiece, Windfall makes the most of its small budget and single location with solid performances and a clever story.**

Windfall captured my attention when I expected just to have it on in the background and demanded I sit and see what was happening. It is unique and told in a casual manner despite the high-stress circumstances that play out. Throughout the film, I tried to guess how it would play out, but the ending wrapped up unexpectedly. I can’t say Windfall was an incredible film, but it held my attention and felt different than a typical home invasion or robbery movie. Segel, Collins, and Plemons all played their characters in a way that kept the viewer off kilter and wondering what would happen next. Windfall keeps its characters shrouded in mystery, leaving the audience in the dark, only sharing small bits to develop the story. Windfall isn’t mind-blowing but entertains and intrigues right from the beginning.

Cool! Oddly classical? I liked it.

Jesse Plemons!

Barebones hostage drama with surprise ending
As “Windfall” (2022 release; 92 min.) opens, a man is walking around a southern property. It quickly becomes apparent that the man is in fact robbing the property. Just as he is about to finish up, a couple arrives at the property. It’s not long before the man is found out and he takes the couple hostage… At this point we are 10 min into the film.

Couple of comments: this is the latest movie from director Charlie McDowell (“The Discovery”). Here he brings a barebones hostage drama that seems appropriate for the times in which it was made: smack in the middle of the pandemic. Hence only 4 actors (the three mentioned earlier, plus the gardener in a limited appeareance), and one single location. At times this very much feels like a theater play. Once the story line is set, nothing much really happens (until the very end, that is) and instead we get to know the personalities. Is the robber really a bad guy? And what of the ultra-rich CEO? Is the hostage drama causing a rift in the marriage? All three lead performances are good, in particular Jesse Plemons as the CEO. Lily Collins (a/k/a Mrs. Charlie McDowell in real life) plays the role of the wife. Jason Segel )playing the robber) is also credited as the film’s co-writer. The film’s overall minimalist approach reminded me more than once of Steven Soderbergh’s work. Bottom line: this movie is nothing earth-shattering but still worth checking out.

“Windfall” premiered on Netflix this weekend. If you are in the mood for a barebones hostage drama with a theater-like feeling to it and starring some solid acting performances, I’d readily suggest you check this out, and draw your own conclusion.

Alone together
The weirdest situations can bring out the weirdest and not too bad ideas – this movie was made during lockdown. Lockdown if you are wondering was a thing when there was this virus called Corona and goverments tried to contain it – we are still experiencing it right now, but I am assuming (hoping?) it’ll be more or less over some time in the future.

Having said that, the story has some interesting and fun ideas. It obviously has characters who have issues – with each other and within themselves. Having said, the acting is really rock solid. The story works overall and the really one location (still quite big) thing works quite nicely too.

Still there are other movies that work a lot better with a weird premise like this. Or a similar one. 3-Iron (or Bin-Jip not sure which title is the international to be honest) to name a Korean one. It has not the same story mind you … but you have a weirdness in it .. that surpasses the one seen here. Way different in almost every department – but also way better.

Still this has its merits – for some it may be a twist or two – maybe even the one towards the ending. I was not too excited about that to be honest. But that is me – you may feel differently about all of it.
