- 75Chicago Sun-TimesBruce IngramChicago Sun-TimesBruce Ingram[An] unabashedly derivative but nonetheless entertaining, pitch-black Norwegian crime comedy.
- 70The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeThe Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeBlood-spattered crime comedy benefits from whip-smart pacing and quirky Scandinavian attitude.
- 50The DissolveMike D'AngeloThe DissolveMike D'AngeloJackpot feels more like Guy Ritchie than the Coen brothers. It revels in moronic violence, unleavened by playfulness or wit.
- 50The New York TimesBen KenigsbergThe New York TimesBen KenigsbergAs an absurdist suspense film, Jackpot mostly hits its marks. As a comedy, it’s less successful, stronger on sight gags than on the detective’s sarcasm.
- 40Village VoiceCalum MarshVillage VoiceCalum MarshCertainly, a lot of blood is spilled in the name of laughs. There's only one problem with its broad attempts at grotesque comedy: Jackpot simply isn't funny.
- 38RogerEbert.comBrian TallericoRogerEbert.comBrian TallericoMerely being violent and unpredictable does not make a film like Jackpot funny. Therein lies the biggest problem here.
- 25Slant MagazineNick SchagerSlant MagazineNick SchagerGuy Ritchie may have creatively moved on from his Tarantino-inspired debut, but international crime cinema has not, as again evidenced by Magnus Martens's film.
