How to Make a Killing (2026)

A one-time movie

A one-shot movie

It's a good movie for the evening.

a moderately funny but boring crime drama. It is also indicated that it is a comedy, but somehow it is not funny. In some places, they may have tried black humor, but it's also like that.

the plot seems to be funny, even slightly unusual, but it doesn't give much pleasure.
and I wanted to have more dynamics, not this withdrawal into a tightness.

apparently, the entire budget went to the cast and relied on the actors, but alas, they didn't do much here either.

And I liked it! It 's worth going to the cinema .

An interesting film about what people are capable of for the sake of money and power

In principle, kinzo will go)
It's fine for one trip, you can go.
But sometimes you sit and yawn..😴💤💤

It's controversial from the point of view of morality (The main character turned out to be nothing, which greatly simplified the ending for me) It's stupid plot (Why is the FBI here at all) And Powell in the main roles is already annoying me.
I wanted something cheerful and funny, but it turned out to be ordinary, which, in principle, you can not watch.

The concept was great, but the film seemed a bit shallow and unfinished. The murders were happening too fast. There was no preparation or plot development, they just happened.

I did not understand the moment: at the very beginning they said that the entire fortune was a kind of "closed trust", because the heirs were strictly determined by seniority. And then how was he able to unsubscribe all the money to Quollie in the end?

I don't understand Julia (Margaret Qualley). If she only used Becket for money, then it's unclear why she ended up staying with him. And if it wasn't just for the money, but she had feelings for him, then why did she refuse him a date twice? Well, the first time was fine, but the second time when she called him, said "ask me out," he called, and she refused, that's the point I don't understand at all. 😅

It's a very mediocre movie with no morals. It looks more like a manual for future homicidal maniacs than a movie with any purpose.

2.5 out of 5. It will do for once if you want something that is not too demanding of quality, but you probably won't want to review or advise your friends. The idea is bright, but the embodiment is pale.

"The Heir": a film that proves that if you do everything very slowly and with pathos, it can be called an "atmospheric thriller"

I almost fell asleep in the beginning, felt better in the middle, but the end didn't come out. A24 is in the best traditions.

People trying to make Glen Powell a new Hollywood star are crazy. If memory serves, there was only one successful film with him, and his career is almost like Alexander Petrov's in the 2010s. It's not a man, it's a living caricature of a Luxmaxer with a comically rectangular face.

It's more of a crazy addition to assassins creed, where you have to kill clan members one at a time, than a movie. And the death penalty will not be imposed for murder out of jealousy.

Boring, tasteless, not funny, not dramatic. As a result, the hero simply sold his soul for money and a future bitch-wife, and they will become that very nasty couple of rich people who hate each other and try to stab each other harder. That's not what his mother wanted for him.
Glen Powell is sad. Beckett should be a year or two younger than his cousins, but in the end he looks like their dad.
The swing was not bad overall, the trailer was interesting, but in the end it was so bland. A few actors are not bad, but the movie is not just a one-time thing - not watching it doesn't mean you lose something.

Only the outline of the plot turned out. There are hastily written cliches inside. It would have been a good series if they had stretched it out and put more work into the details.

The main boss first gives gg a gun himself, and then runs after him with a gun like a madman. The actions are completely inconsistent with the character.

Why would a friend frame him for murder if she already had dirt? What if he had been executed? And if he says that he signed the documents in a state of passion, the execution is still on the nose, he was saying goodbye to his life, the signature may be canceled.

I didn't really want to watch it, I didn't like the trailer. But in principle, I don't regret anything) the evening was spent pleasantly, the story is banal, but still interesting, Glen Close is handsome))

The film did not meet expectations

I even find it difficult to express emotion after watching it. It seems like the ending made me smile, but it doesn't seem to be up to the mark. I wasn't bored watching it, but I didn't have enough atmosphere, like more black humor? Where is the British black humor? It was just asking for more satire with the unexpected deaths of relatives.
And so, well, it will go for the evening

This is the second movie in a row that I've watched with an unsatisfactory ending, which is even strange. Overall, the movie was enjoyable right up to the finale, where he was framed instead of Lyle. And did it never occur to this guy: "Julia is setting herself up hard, maybe I should write this down?"
In my mind, he's probably going to kill her and make it look like an accident sometime later, when everything calms down. The dude killed four people, one more — what's the difference))

Everyone seems to be very serious about this, it's a pretty decent movie, I think.

How to get away with murder from Glen Powell ordered?

It's a pretty light movie, I didn't like it, no.
I can't call it a failure, I won't recommend it, alas, I didn't get into the mood or lost the plot somewhere, although I don't think so, it's just that the stars didn't agree with this film.
It happens that way, yes.

A confident threesome for my taste. It's too quirky for an easy pastime (without simultaneously staring at the phone), and too stupid for immersion. In the end, I often rewound it.

The actors seem to be well-chosen, but the film lacks something. As if the director, having a lot of footage, could not decide whether it would be a light comedy with black humor, or a deep satire in the style of "eat the rich" as in The Menu, Satburn, Triangle of Sadness.
And he gave out neither fish nor meat.

What a piece of shit. Not a single character arouses any sympathy, and anything happens on the screen, except for what is enticed into the movie - murders.

Another good movie with Glen Powell, I don't understand Haight in his direction, before that I watched "The Running Man" with him. That these are not pretentious films, but you can get pleasure from them. 🙂
4.5/5 👍

Well, yes, 6/10 and 3/5. One-time use. The potential was there, but it didn't come true.

Margarita started to annoy something, she could have become a great actress, but she got stuck in the role of her grin.

Glenchik is too cute for a real star. If he were smaller, he could have been glued to Cruz — but he's too perfect, people don't like them.

For the first time, the film from a24 seemed a bit boring

there is such an easy fleur catch me if you can and AP

Shit!

But I personally liked the movie. Maybe because I didn't take him seriously. For me, it's an allegory about the lives of billionaires.
That is, if you want to achieve something, you need to literally go over your heads. It's shown here in a rather grotesque way, it's strange that many people tried to see real life in it. Although it is shown here quite truthfully, it must be perceived through the prism of irony.
After all, it's hard not to agree that in order to make a fortune, one way or another, you have to "kill" someone. No, you don't need to pick up a knife and go cut up your competitors, in fact, you'll never know about most of your victims, but that doesn't mean they don't exist. The most banal example: you made a reduction and one of the thousands laid off was forced into debt and eventually committed suicide.
In the film, all the murders are quite banal, committed unprofessionally, and everyone gets away with it, because the FBI behaves like kindergartens. And the hero almost dies when he decides to give up the fortune, fortunately in the end he still does not give up and gets exactly what he deserves, however, as well as his new wife.
Well, if you believe that in real life everything is different and billionaires are white and fluffy philanthropists, then alas you are watching too much MLP :D

Overall, it's cool. But the more you think about what you've seen, the more holes you see.
But what hurt me the most was the ending: all the evidence is running down the hallway and the prints on the knife? Riley? Or his wife came in 3 minutes later and stabbed him, he didn't have time to appear alive on the cameras.
And most importantly, the lawyer is like, "Okay, that's 50 thousand dollars for your defense." Or he got a free one. That's what it is.

And yes, how is this mademoiselle going to build a relationship with someone she almost killed?
It's normal to look at it once, the picture is beautiful, but it doesn't pull for more.
Will there be anything useful at all in 2026 or not?

I liked that the first murder happened pretty quickly, they didn't stretch to half of the film, and the pauses between the murders are short))

In general, kinzo norms

CAPITALISM. HAPPINESS. SHARE IT.

I'm not going to pretend that I've ever heard of the British film "Kind Hearts and Crowns" released in the forties, which "Heir" shamelessly copies, so I'll focus on the fact that the latter, in my opinion, is a rather original idea. The problem is that the screenwriter and part-time director John Patton Ford rushes from side to side, constantly loses focus, cannot fully realize his idea or at least explain what he wanted to make a movie about. It was as if his entire fantasy had gone into the ambiguous title "How to make a killing", which, on the one hand, is literally and obviously about committing murder, and, on the other hand, works as a stable expression in the style of "hitting the jackpot" and "suddenly getting rich". Here, in fact, domestic distributors seemed to have served the audience well for some time, drawing parallels with the "Heirs" from HBO and setting them up in a more appropriate dramatic way.

Personally, I initially saw in the local concept either a funny slasher, or an analog of a destination in which the main antihero personally arranges ingenious accidents for his unloved relatives. You know, Agent 47, who decided to score the maximum number of points. Technically, that's the way it is, but without fervor, details, and with a lot of assumptions, when Becket gets away with it just because. In fact, the most interesting (on paper) part - about the murders themselves - turns out to be passing and little remembered. And if it weren't for the charismatic and already seemingly ubiquitous Glen Powell in the title role, the picture would have completely lost the lion's share of charm. He even portrayed the drama plausibly - I don't doubt his abilities, it's just that lately he's been positioned either as a comedian or as an action hero.

This is certainly not a failure. I looked at the picture with some interest, and I liked the ending, despite all its conventions, but the loss of genre orientation and the constant stalling of the tempo, of course, prevents me from enjoying it in full. As if, given the director/screenwriter's desire to cover everything at once, it would be better for him to expand the "Heir" to the format of a mini-series for some kind of Netflix in the spirit of "The Fall of the House of Usher" (without mysticism, of course) in order to reveal each member of the family and elaborate on how Becket gradually he gets close to each of his victims.

RATING: 3.5 liters of blood, not water, out of 5

The idea was somehow screwed up (it's a shame

A good kinzo.

B

You definitely shouldn't go to the cinema for him.

This is the case when the movie's abstract is more interesting than the movie itself. It was supposed to be a black comedy, but in the end everything is so depressing, and somehow it happens once or twice. I watched the ending twice, I thought maybe I missed some detail. But no, it's just a boring movie without any kind of morality, even gray.

If Sue hadn't come to pick him up when he got out of prison, it would have been quite a drama when the villain ended up with nothing, no money, and no lover with whom he missed the engagement, as they say, for every tricky job there is a screw. It's quite a moralizing ending.

But in the end, the dude gets into the car with a woman he doesn't love, and who tricked him like a snotty youngster. Well, at least show the scene after the credits at the end, where Julia "accidentally" died in a rich bathtub from an electric shock, let there be at least some gray moral.

As a result, it's a boring, insipid movie, without any meaning at all. The actors are cool, top-notch, but the plot itself has reached a dead end, not intrigue (the fact that he is in prison not for murdering heirs, but that he was framed — I figured it out at about 40 minutes of the film) absolutely some FBI agents in the background, absolutely such relatives in the background (well, only my grandfather guessed, that this bastard is cutting out the family for the sake of inheritance). In short, a weak threesome, and a dull aftertaste after watching

I didn't really understand why gg was eventually acquitted, what exactly was in the note?
