**While not a masterpiece, Windfall makes the most of its small budget and single location with solid performances and a clever story.**

Windfall captured my attention when I expected just to have it on in the background and demanded I sit and see what was happening. It is unique and told in a casual manner despite the high-stress circumstances that play out. Throughout the film, I tried to guess how it would play out, but the ending wrapped up unexpectedly. I can’t say Windfall was an incredible film, but it held my attention and felt different than a typical home invasion or robbery movie. Segel, Collins, and Plemons all played their characters in a way that kept the viewer off kilter and wondering what would happen next. Windfall keeps its characters shrouded in mystery, leaving the audience in the dark, only sharing small bits to develop the story. Windfall isn’t mind-blowing but entertains and intrigues right from the beginning.
