Review of Win It All (2017) by Moviemitch96 — 07 Apr 2017
This has gotten really decent reviews so far, and I honestly can't understand for the life of me why. The film felt slow, plodding, pointless, and unsure of whether it wants to be funny or serious (which is all pretty typical for director Joe Swanberg and his style from what I've noticed.
) Jake Johnson further demonstrates his mediocrity as an actor to me in this film, as he simply acts glum and nonchalant from start to finish, with his character coming off as just plain whiny and unlikable, not unlike pretty much every role he's played before.
Overall, this simply felt like a boring, pointless film that rips off and aims to be like other far superior gambling/high stakes movies like The Gambler (the far superior original James Caan version), Mississippi Grind, etc.
, but fails miserably and simply comes off as an awkward and clumsy wannabe.
