TAKE THE MONEY AND RUN.
A comedy that envisions a future Los Angeles where winners of a lottery have until sundown to survive – if they don’t the big prize goes to whomever killed them.
Awkwafina and John Cena are enjoyably goofy together as an aspiring actress who’s suddenly saddled with a winning ticket and the brawny agent who offers to protect her for a cut of her fortune.
Paul Feig doesn’t really do much with the futuristic concept, but he has enough experience from action-comedies to keep this silly Purge parody pacy enough.
