Alien at the Movies

Windfall

An intruder (Jason Segel) breaks into the vacation home of a billionaire tech CEO (Jesse Plemons) & leisurely searches for money & jewelry to steal. But before the thief can escape, the CEO & his trophy wife (Lily Collins) unexpectedly show up for a spontaneous getaway. This creates an awkward kidnap/hostage situation that seems to drag on & on. This is more of a slow psychological thriller as we get to know the personalities of these 3 main players. As audiences start to wonder where is this all going, the plot tosses in another individual to increase the tension & accelerate the storyline. Will the intruder get the ransom money? Or will the CEO outwit the intruder to save his wife? Who can play this hostage game better & finish unscathed? 

Alien gives it 2 “another Debbie” stars out of 4.
