Greedy People Reviews
With the majority of its main characters unlikeable, there's nobody to root for - which undoes much of the tension.

It's a shame that the final result is not greater than the sum of its parts. [Full review in Spanish]

For all those who are tiring of banal cash-grabbing vanity projects that only make noise at the ticket windows, this crime comedy comes as a breather despite some flaws in the story.

Watch it if you want a reminder of just how good Joseph Gordon-Levitt is or to see how far one can take a crazy idea and run with it.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 22, 2024
Greedy People, directed by Potsy Ponciroli from a screenplay by Nichael Vukadinovich, never stops trying to claw its way out of the morass but fails.

The neo-noir treatment of themes like greed, ambition, survival, and grief, along with its dark humour and characters, make it entertaining and worth a one-time watch.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 19, 2024
A minor crime film, with a dark humor and some laughs.
| Original Score: B- | Oct 13, 2024
Yes, this is a Coen Brothers knockoff. But as such knockoffs go, it’s not bad.

This crime comedy starts out well, with zany jokes, brutal surprises, and razor pacing, but it eventually succumbs to a grim seriousness and a plodding final stretch.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 30, 2024
A dark crime comedy in the vein of Marmalade and Wild Things, Greedy People is wicked fun to watch unravel.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 29, 2024
…Greedy People offers up an all-star morality play, a crooked cop movie which raises a number of moral issues and dilemmas…too many unsympathetic characters somewhat lessen the involvement, even while the script and the performances entertain…
| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 25, 2024
Greedy People walks, talks and swears like an old-school Coen brothers caper. Fair enough, but it has none of the wit, intelligence or imagination of one.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 19, 2024
It’s not a bad premise by any means, but a noir romp, however bizarre and farcical, surely has to take place in a recognisably real world where there are plausibly real constraints on people’s behaviour.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 18, 2024
Does it make any sense? No. But I was cracking up from scene to scene.

It's just not that funny. It is a bit intriguing because of the structure, but boy I didn't get a good laugh until about an hour in.

As the title somewhat suggests, everyone in Greedy People sucks, but not enough to where it becomes actually enjoyable to watch most of them suffer.

Proof the dark comedy genre isn’t dead. It just needs a captivating premise, a script with logical twists, dialed-in directing and an excellent cast.
| Original Score: 9/10 | Aug 29, 2024
In classic Coen brothers fashion, GREEDY PEOPLE brings together [characters] who find themselves in over their heads, leading to a bloodbath. This dark comedy is both hilarious and intense, with moments that go to unexpected and memorable places.

It doesn’t always work, but it more often than not hits its target, thanks to the performances and an unexpected ending.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 28, 2024
Greedy People is a well-written movie with superb pacing. The story and characters are all fun to watch, and everything builds up to a surprisingly exhilarating finale.
| Original Score: 8/10 | Aug 27, 2024
