- Synopsis:
- Becket Redfellow (Glen Powell) has wit, charm and style, but something crucial eludes him. His mother's super-rich family disowned her when Becket was born. Mary always told Becket that something had been stolen from him and that he was destined for greatness. Becket devises a murderous scheme to eliminate the seven Redfellow family members who stand between him and 27 billion dollars he believes is his birthright. Co-starring Margaret Qualley, Jessica Henwick and Ed Harris as the domineering patriarch, this is a deliciously vengeful must-see.

A Design Error???????????????? - How to Make a Killing review by griggs
Not as bad as I’d feared, which is still a grim place to start. John Patton Ford’s loose reworking of Kind Hearts and Coronets has Glen Powell knocking off wealthy relatives for an inheritance, plus a deathbed-confession framing device pinched from Amadeus that at least gives the thing some shape. Shame the actual film isn’t funny. That feels less like a minor flaw than a design error. Alec Guinness played eight doomed aristocrats in the original with ice-cold comic precision; this lot can barely scrape together one decent laugh.
Margaret Qualley now seems to have two modes: brilliant (The Substance or Blue Moon), or stranded in arch, dead-on-arrival misfires ( Drive-Away Dolls or Honey Don't!). This is very much the latter. Powell does what he can, but charm only gets you so far when the script has no bite and the whole thing feels weirdly bloodless.
Stay at home, watch an Ealing Comedy instead.
