How To Make A Killing


Becket Redfellow (Glen Powell), a blue-collar worker, is disowned at birth by his incredibly wealthy, elite family, the Redfellows. After his mother passes away, leaving him with nothing but a desire for the life he was denied, Becket decides to reclaim his inheritance. To secure his place in the $28 billion fortune, he hatches a meticulous, murderous scheme to eliminate the seven relatives standing in his way.

This movie was a pretty funny presence and at times the movie was actually pretty funny too.  The problem with dark comedies though is that line of serious versus funny and this movie while enjoyable didn't really balance that well enough.   It started much funnier but then got more and more serious.   If it would have been balanced a little better as it went this movie could have honestly been great.

I would still somewhat recommend people checking this out.  The cast is good enough and you are invested in the story regardless even though the balance was kind of off as it went.
