Windfall is a slow movie that build its way up to an explosive climax. Not for those who are impatient.
Should You Watch:
Similar to Power of the Dog, Windfall is a slow burner as well. With some great acting, interesting music scores, and an intense climax, Windfall is an interesting movie if you can last its slow buildup. It does feature some interesting characters, which helps you through the slower pace. If you like character driven movies, then check this one out on Netflix.
What’s Windfall About?
Believing that a tech billionaire is away at a conference, a man breaks into the rich man’s vacation home to rob him of valuables. But when the billionaire and his wife suddenly appear, the first man must hold the two hostages until he is paid. As tensions rise, the situation becomes more and more unstable, as secrets and suppressed emotions are released.
Who’s in Windfall?
Windfall features three characters: the burglar, the billionaire husband, and the wife. None of the characters are ever named and only refer to each other by their titles or nicknames. The burglar is a man who struggles financially. He also studies the habits of the billionaire, stalking him to the point of knowing when he would not be home. When the billionaire appears, the burglar hopes the billionaire is a good person. The billionaire is a rich man who has little patience for the people around him. He puts on a strong face, as he constantly has a target on his back due to his success. He is really excited to have children. The wife is another woman who worked her way from the bottom and married rich. Contrary to her husband, children do not interest her much.
