Show more >> Greedy People has all the ingredients for a thrilling ride: a murder, a million dollars, and a town gone mad with greed. However, it sometimes feels like it bites off more than it can chew. The film opens with a bang, introducing us to a quirky cast of characters, each with their own secrets. Yet, as the plot thickens, the pacing stumbles, and some character arcs feel rushed or underdeveloped. While the dark humour hits the mark at times, it occasionally overshadows the more serious themes at play. That said, the film's exploration of greed and its consequences is thought-provoking, and there are moments of genuine suspense. Greedy People may not be perfect, but it’s an entertaining watch if you’re in the mood for a quirky thriller. Show less
