Unequivocally, the ideal film to induce global intellectual decline!
California in 2030: Lottery victors can be assassinated by competitors to claim the prize. How absurdly preposterous! "Take a Life for the Loot" is the ideal film to go hand-in-hand with society's decline in intelligence.
Ex-juvenile actor Katie, portrayed by Awkwafina, aims to regain her fame in the film industry of 2030's LA. In accordance with the utterly nonsensical script, the actress wins a staggering $3.6 billion lottery jackpot. However, there's a twist: before sunset, every participant has the chance to eliminate Katie to snatch the prize. And just when you thought the crazy premise couldn't get any dumber, freelance lottery bodyguard Noel, played by John Cena, enters the scene.
Some people in the creative and critical spheres have truly questionable taste for what they deem enjoyable entertainment. "Take a Life for the Loot" - streaming on Prime Video - is no different. Not only does it excel in delivering poor action, grating acting, and simplistic humor, but it also holds the top spot for being the epitome of vacuous entertainment fit for societal decline.
