Reviews

The Winner, despite its talented cast led by the brilliant Rebecca De Mornay, fails to impress critics due to its lackluster plot and execution. Rotten Tomatoes gave it a dismal 17% rating, with many reviewers highlighting the film's shallow character development and predictable storyline. IMDb rates it at 4.7/10, with viewers lamenting the film's missed potential and overall unsatisfying conclusion. Critics agree that while De Mornay delivers a solid performance, the film as a whole falls short of expectations, leaving audiences wanting more depth and originality. Despite its intriguing premise, The Winner ultimately fails to captivate and falls flat in its delivery.
