How to Make a Killing is a pitch-black comedy thriller starring Glen Powell. Originally titled Huntington, the film is a modern, satirical reimagining of the 1949 British classic Kind Hearts and Coronets. It follows Becket Redfellow (Powell), a blue-collar man who was disowned at birth by his obscenely wealthy family.
Upon discovering he is technically in line for a $28 billion fortune, Becket decides to "prune the family tree," embarking on a ruthless and meticulous quest to eliminate the seven eccentric relatives standing between him and his inheritance.
The film has generated significant buzz for weaponizing Powell’s "golden boy" charisma into something far more sinister, with early critics comparing his performance to a more charming, witty version of Patrick Bateman. The ensemble cast is stacked with talent, including Margaret Qualley as Becket's accomplice/love interest, Ed Harris as the formidable family patriarch, and Jessica Henwick, Zach Woods, Topher Grace, and Bill Camp as various members of the dysfunctional Redfellow clan. Produced by A24 and StudioCanal, the movie is being praised for its "eat the rich" social commentary, stylish violence, and a sharp, cynical script that marks a major tonal shift for Powell as an anti-hero.
