Windfall Ending Explained (In Detail)
Warning: Major spoilers ahead for Windfall.
The neo-noir thriller film Windfall delves into the void between envy and entitlement, with its ending holding a mirror up to society. Directed by Charlie McDowell, Windfall boasts a talented ensemble cast including Jason Segel, Lily Collins, and Jesse Plemons, who all shine in a deceiving home invasion. Although it begins with Segel's Nobody breaking into the CEO and Wife’s vacation home (Plemons and Collins), the film gradually reveals itself to be a commentary on class warfare, made possible by the actors’ engrossing performances.
Nobody’s plan of stealing the CEO’s money, watch, and gun gets derailed with the couple’s arrival. Merely a few minutes into Windfall, the Wife catches Nobody leaving. As the robbery turns into a hostage situation, the CEO hands over his secret stash of money and allows the burglar to escape. However, when Nobody notices a security camera within the property’s vicinity, he is forced to return to the château, intending to ask for more money from the CEO. While waiting for the ransom, the trio receives an unexpected visitor, played by Omar Leyva, one of Grey’s Anatomy character actors. With this addition, Windfall takes a darker turn.
