How to Make a Killing

How to Make a Killing(?) A decent one-off, but ultimately forgettable. I didn't know what to expect, and I don't know what I got. Too plain to be action, too blunt to be a thriller, too rushed to be a romance, too random to be a mystery, and too unfunny to be a comedy. That said, the script does have a bit of it all, but without much solidity. There's chemistry in the casting, satire in the script, and engagement in the story. It lost me in the ending before the ending, and then the ending brought me back. I make it convoluted because that's exactly how I feel.

How to Make A Killing is a film that it just fun to watch. It’s not something really that unique, it’s not making huge new strides in cinema but it’s just fun and that’s ok. Glen Powell knows how to make someone smile and enjoy themselves while watching a film.

I’m starting to think they make better trailers than films at this point.

How to Make a Killing gives us nothing to connect to and no real reason to care about any of it. What it does show is how a person can talk themselves out of their own conscience, one choice at a time, until that voice gets so quiet that it disappears.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ And there’s something both confusing and darkly funny about someone who believes they’re the rightful owner of wealth they never earned themselves. The film’s closing lines captures it better than anything else in it does.

From Narration, to Cliche’s, to bad writing, this movie doesn’t respect its audience or even the story it’s trying to tell under all its own problems.

Now that’s a plot twist 😂

Fuuuuu
