- vangh1December 18, 2024Going into this knowing only what the movie poster provided, I did NOT know what I was getting into but hoo boy did I love it! Drowning Mona by way of the Coens. Every one of the cast is having a blast, and JGL and Himesh Patel's chemistry makes this whole thing sing. Multiple moments illicited small gasps from me, and my face mirrored Will's face exactly as he witnessed what occurs outside the Masseur's place. The Colombian and The Irishman having mailboxes straight across from one another on the same woodland trail on this tiny island tells you all you need to know about this movie.
- Desmond DaleJanuary 24, 2025While it's one thing to make a film centered around immoral unlikable people it's another to make a film where the characters are not only unlikeable but also lack charisma and depth. It's one of the few areas where I think films shouldn't completely replicate life, even the gray characters need to be redeemable in the sense that they're at least amusing, entertaining or satirical in some manner. The dialogue and characterizations in Greedy People are such a letdown especially considering the talented cast of charismatic actors whom normally ooze charisma.

The film’s scattered chaos—murders, missing money, and a wildly inept investigation—gradually coalesces around a central, haunting motif: Will’s red eye. Initially dismissed as a minor detail, the red eye becomes a powerful visual metaphor for the suppressed guilt and festering truths hidden beneath every character’s facade. It is not just a physical ailment but a burning symbol of perception—how Will sees through the town’s greed, and perhaps, how he’s been marked by it. In the end, the red eye connects every thread of betrayal, secrecy, and opportunism, revealing that in this town, everyone’s vision is tainted by what they’re willing to ignore for personal gain and blood
