How to Make a Killing

★⯪☆ ☆ How to Make a Killing (2026) Runtime: 105 minutes MPAA:  Rated R for language and some violence/bloody images. Maybe I just don't get it. A person who plans and commits murders of all his family members to inherit a fortune seems like an interesting idea, and I did go in expecting a ton of fun in its action, satire, wit and snappy dialogue. I walked out thinking it was plain dull.  Written and directed by John Patton Ford, Glen Powell plays Becket Redfellow, the son of disgraced member Mary (Nell Williams). The patriach Whitelaw (Ed Harris) kicked her out because of her teenage pregnancy, and when Mary fell sick and eventually died, leaving Becket alone, the family didn't bother to support or even reach out to Becket. In the present day, he's a luxury suit salesman in New York City, where he bumps into his childhood friend Julia (Margaret Qualley) who's married. Demoted from his current job because of store politics (nepotism!), he decides to go on a killing spree...
