How to Make A killing 02/24/2026

It toes the line between an "eat the rich" and a pseudo-banality of evil vibe but never really does either in a satisfying way. Our "hero" Beckett (Glen Powell) is a vacuum of personality with his only motivation seemingly being wanting to be rich because he thinks his mom wanted that for him. Margaret Qualley (I dont remember her character's name... Jane?) exists to ultimately validate Beckett’s hallow desire for money. Either you get rich, or someone is going to get rich off you. It presents this bleak outlook on life. Except that Jessica Henwick’s character (Also don't remember her name... Cathy?) is seemingly very content and fulfilled with the decision to abandon (?) wealth for a high school teaching job. The movie tries to do too much and the titular killings somehow end up being the most boring and rushed parts. Final thoughts: Jessica Henwick is a star.
