In 'Windfall,' Jason Segel, Jesse Plemons, and Lily Collins get to play against type in a fairly standard thriller.
Windfall, the latest film from The One I Love and The Discovery director Charlie McDowell, starts like an Alfred Hitchcock film, complete with throwback opening credits, and a soft but haunting score, as we zoom in on a quiet California home. Windfall feels like a reminder of the past, a simple yet thrilling mystery that relies more on character than big plot or action developments.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Written by McDowell’s frequent collaborator Justin Lader and Se7en writer Andrew Kevin Walker, Windfall keeps this neo-noir story to the basics. Segel is known as Nobody, while Plemons is simply called CEO, and Collins is credited as Wife.
