But our sympathies aren\u2019t directed exactly as you might expect in \u201cWindfall,\u201d a tightly wound sunshine noir that borrows from hardboiled classics like \u201cThe Desperate Hours,\u201d while revisiting the kind of chilly, compressed relationship anatomy that director Charlie McDowell essayed in his debut \u201cThe One I Love.\u201d Blending the oddball sensibility of McDowell and regular co-writer Justin Lader with the nastier genre smarts of \u201cSe7en\u201d scribe Andrew Kevin Walker, this low-key Netflix holds to its intriguing promise for a crisp 90 minutes, though even its climax is muted by design.<\/p>\n<p>A trio of stars all playing effectively against type will be the chief draw for McDowell\u2019s film \u2014 his second for Netflix, following 2017\u2019s ambitious but uninviting sci-fi romance \u201cThe Discovery\u201d \u2014 as it lands directly on the streaming platform, though it\u2019s safe to say not all \u201cEmily in Paris\u201d fans will follow winsome Lily Collins into a very different, more morally questioning form of lifestyle porn. As a corporate trophy wife with a wistful yen for her less privileged past, she\u2019s cast as the congenial middle ground between two contrasting figures of toxic masculinity: Jesse Plemons, as the slappable face of excessively moneyed entitlement, and Jason Segel, as a ne\u2019er-do-well striver consumed by aspirational envy.<\/p>\n<p>Not that we\u2019re supposed to overly attach ourselves to any one character in a film that doesn\u2019t even grant them the courtesy of names, with the script dismissively labeling them as \u201cWife,\u201d \u201cCEO\u201d and \u201cNobody,\u201d respectively. There\u2019s more than a hint of irony to the last of those appellations, as Segel\u2019s character repeatedly squirms out of offering any personal details about his past or present, while considering his future only in theoretical terms.<\/p>\n<p>In a wordless seven-minute opening sequence, he\u2019s introduced skulking around the modernist, expensively spartan Ojai estate (beautifully curated by production designer Andrew Clark) to which the film\u2019s action is wholly confined: sunning himself on the patio, picking fruit from meandering orange groves, and finally rifling through drawers and wardrobes, helping himself to a pair of Cartier cufflinks before finding a gun in a hidden case. If the film\u2019s opening credits didn\u2019t make its noir intentions clear enough \u2014 with their old-Hollywood typography and the Herrmann-esque zitherings of Danny Bensi and Saunder Jurriaans\u2019 flavorful score \u2014 we\u2019ve got the message by now.<\/p>\n<p>The gun in question won\u2019t ultimately disobey Chekhov\u2019s rule, though when and how it\u2019ll come into play is the unknown that keeps the film ticking through a surprisingly sparse middle stretch. Having planned on having this haven to himself for a few days, Segel\u2019s intruder is startled by the arrival of the house\u2019s owners, a tech billionaire (Plemons) and his spouse turned business partner (Collins); panicked, he takes them hostage, first attempting to barricade them in their luxury sauna before a clearer plan comes to him. The couple, they claim, are happy to let him go if he simply takes the money and runs, and ask him to name his price. $150,000, he suggests, to their instant derision. \u201cYou think that\u2019s enough?\u201d the CEO taunts, as his wife frets about the thief\u2019s quality of life. Half a million, they advise, is closer to the mark.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s from this point that \u201cWindfall\u201d reveals itself not as a standard-issue home invasion thriller, but as a flintier, more passive-aggressive study of class warfare, in which ostensible victims become calculating oppressors and vice versa \u2014 while the murky power dynamics between these three white occupants are thrown into perspective when the couple\u2019s Mexican gardener (Omar Levya) inadvertently enters the fray. Yet while Lader and Walker\u2019s script teases a more acidic strain of <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">social<\/a> satire, the film\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">general<\/a>ly terse approach extends to its commentary. Viewers can draw what conclusions they will from the alpha-beta animosity between the two men, and from the twitching currents of resentment in the couple\u2019s magazine-spread marriage, but it\u2019s safe to say there are no good guys here, and probably no winners either.<\/p>\n<p>So often cast as a figure of gentle squareness, Plemons\u2019 mild-mannered intelligence as a performer is here cleverly repurposed as douchey complacency; Segel\u2019s retiring screen presence, on the other hand, gains a glint of twice-burned disappointment and nothing-to-lose drive. But it\u2019s Collins, under the direction of her off-screen husband, who gains most from this relative change of pace, in a role that calls on her practiced ingenue persona before pulling her toward harder, darker, more assertive possibilities \u2014 as befits a character who was already questioning her domestic idyll before another man broke into it. \u201cI think the less we know about each other, the better,\u201d Segel\u2019s intruder says to his two ostensible captives near the beginning. \u201cWindfall\u201d suggests many a high-powered marriage is built on the same principle.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-tags \/\/ a-children-icon-bullet lrv-u-font-family-primary u-letter-spacing-012 lrv-u-line-height-large lrv-u-color-brand-primary\">\n<h2 id=\"optional-screen-reader\" class=\"lrv-a-screen-reader-only\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"optional_screen_reader\"><\/span>\n        optional screen reader  <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<nav class=\"o-nav  o-nav lrv-u-border-b-1 u-border-color-brand-secondary-40 lrv-u-border-t-1 lrv-u-text-align-center lrv-u-padding-b-025 u-padding-t-050@desktop u-padding-t-050@tablet u-padding-t-050@mobile-max lrv-u-margin-t-2 lrv-u-margin-b-2\" data-dropdown=\"\">\n<h4 id=\"\" class=\"o-nav__title lrv-u-color-black lrv-u-font-family-secondary o-nav__title a-content-ignore u-line-height-140 u-letter-spacing-0002\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Read_More_About\"><\/span>Read More About:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<\/nav>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/plain\" class=\"optanon-category-C0004\">\n  !function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n    if (f.fbq) return;\n    n = f.fbq = function() {\n      n.callMethod ?\n          n.callMethod.apply(n, arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);\n    };\n    if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n    n.push = n;\n    n.loaded = !0;\n    n.version = '2.0';\n    n.queue = [];\n    t = b.createElement(e);\n    t.async = !0;\n    t.src = v;\n    s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n    s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n  }(window, document, 'script',\n      'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '586935388485447');\n  fbq('init', '315552255725686');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
