How to Make a Killing (2026)

Pat G. · Feb 23, 2026

Would you kill to inherit billions of dollars? That is the dilemma Glenn Powell's character faces as an heir to a family fortune. I went into this film with high hopes and to be blunt it was bad. A story that has so much potential just falls flat.

Why does it fall flat? A director tries to jam too much into one hour and 45 minutes and as a result some sequences only get 90 seconds. This is a story that needed to be about a half hour longer, and just a better storyteller. The one piece the director does well is he incorporates a very dry sense of humor throughout the film. This gets one out of four Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.
