Windfall

— Interesting thriller with a small-time burglar breaking into an arrogant billionaire’s vacation home. Just as he’s leaving, the owner and his wife arrive unexpectedly and theft morphs into hostage-taking. It feels more like a play than most movies, which isn’t a bad thing, and it certainly has a capable cast. Sometimes the humor and the suspense seemed to be at odds, but basically, it’s a nice little thriller, with none of the characters painted as saints. [Netflix streaming.]
