Residents of a small island town navigate a murder and the discovery of a million dollars, a series of increasingly bad decisions upend the once peaceful community.

Critics Consensus

Joseph Gordon-Levitt plays a doofus with entertaining savvy in Greedy People, a shaggy crime comedy that welcomes unflattering comparisons to better examples of the genre.

It’s not a bad premise by any means, but a noir romp, however bizarre and farcical, surely has to take place in a recognisably real world where there are plausibly real constraints on people’s behaviour.

Does it make any sense? No. But I was cracking up from scene to scene.

It doesn’t always work, but it more often than not hits its target, thanks to the performances and an unexpected ending.

7.5/10

The film manages to be memorable, funny, thought-provoking, and leaves us with a common, but important lesson. The power of greed is nearly infinite, unless we have a higher code and do not simply accept that the world is evil and waiting to pounce.

3/5

With the majority of its main characters unlikeable, there's nobody to root for - which undoes much of the tension.

It's a shame that the final result is not greater than the sum of its parts. [Full review in Spanish]

Undeniably, we’ve got some seasoned, veteran actors here who all step up their game! Some of the comedy and punchlines were actually equally written and executed quite brilliantly. But it’s like the true potential in each and every scene was never completely unlocked, leaving a potential classic feeling a little flat. JG-L’s character got a bit exhausting and clearly there was more screen time focused on HIM - and he wasn’t even the most likeable character? 😬 I don’t think it was bad at all, the true potential just felt a bit suffocated.

This was a good movie. It's a drama/thriller with some comedy sprinkled in. Great production/ Cast and acting was excellent.

I cried at Bailey getting hurt and had to stop watching I hope the makers of the film are proud of themselves 😭

Too dark, horrible and sad ending, could have been much better.

Dark humor with a few unexpected twists. The ending feels justified after watching!
