From time to time we get to watch a good comedy you know the comedy that matters not the stupid comedy and this one is a good comedy. Since I saw the trailer I was laughing at the parts where you say that is a good joke a good scene and it did not disappoint at all. The whole movie is kind of a comic mess just from one wrong decision but it pays at the end and you feel good watching it and even talking about it to your friends. The cast did well everyone played his parts and played his/her role perfectly. I would recommend it to everyone who is longing for a good comedy not stupid circus comedy but real comedy.

First of all, don't trust the reviews and ratings here with more than a 5/10 and that's being generous. It's hard to pinpoint who was at fault for this bizarre movie and how seemingly out of touch the characters were with reality. Its puzzling how they could produce and watch the result and not even think like "hey, that don't make no sense". I don't like spoilers but it's tricky with this one because it simply sucks. The characters intelligence levels were like that of a dog. Characters can make bad decisions BUT it's important to be able to at least relate or sympathize with them. For example, few mins into the movie, Dude confessed to his clueless living normal wife but fabricated what really happened. FIRST OF ALL, why would you even confess if you're going to fabricate the story? You didn't even need to tell her anything you dumb as5. Joseph Gordon's character to me was the only one likeable and the one that seems to be thinking within bounds even if not right, even though he was portrayed as the unpredictable dangerous type. Unlikely coincidences just lazily squeezed in from the beginning until the end. The try hard wanna be poetic ending makes my eyes roll. This movie is a total waste of brain cells. If you are still here, see "Big Nothing" if you haven't. It's in the same genre.

After watching Greedy People, it feels like the kind of film that made you believe there was more in store, from its pulpy premise. The keyword here is "made you believe." Unfortunately, the promise ends at being thoroughly engaging and not much else. You already know from Act One that none of the characters are likeable, trustworthy-and that would've been totally fine if it were only meant to be a harmless comedy. The film gets darker with each passing scene, and the humour basically transitions into a standard thrill-fest. Joseph Gordon-Levitt puts in a good show, and so does Lily James (did anyone else notice how she ate from the same spoon she fed her dog with?). The rest are functional, playing their respective roles without going overboard-it was still hard to buy into Himesh Patel as a cop. I really wanted to believe there was more to one particular angle (revealing it would be spoiler-ish) about "respecting borders." That had the potential to really up the comedy quotient, yet it's not even explored. The ending also feels rushed (i.e. For a 1h 52m flick), with a resolution that just doesn't hold a lot of weight. There are a lot of coincidental happenings in the third act, making the plot threads easier to tie up sans emotional heft. A film like this needs the deep, character-driven approach (which it tries to some extent)-where one bad decision really wears down the leads. Not a bad film by any measure, though you'd wish there was better detailing to the key characters.

Do yourself a big favor and skip the trailer. This is a fairly dark movie but I suspect the marketing department didn't quite know how to present it. So they put the lighter/funnier moments in the trailer and turned it loose, hoping for the best. The movie itself was quite intriguing. A wide assortment of characters, of varying moral character, end up on a slippery downward slope of their own doing. Excellent cinematography with good acting all around. Tim Blake Nelson? What can I say? I'd watch him read the phone book and he was superb as a slimeball. Definitely worth watching, just be aware the trailer painted something a bit lighter.

"Greedy People," is a dark comedic film that takes place in the heart of Southport, NC...one of the most beautiful locations one could choose to set a film. Joseph Gordan-Levitt, Lily James, Bradley Kenobi, and the rest of the ensemble do such an excellent job of ensuring that that audience falls in love with this sleepy town, but chuckles and clutches their pearls when GREED hits the fan! Director Potsy Ponciroli did a fantastic job ensuring that the plot never sits down for too long before he rips the carpet beneath your feet and throws another curve ball your way. Such a fun film and I can't recommend it enough! Everyone in front of and behind the camera did an excellent job allowing their passion for this project to shine through the lens and straight onto the movie screen.

This felt like bargain basement writing. The actors were all good, but the writing and story are just lacking. Given it's a low budget movie, you can't hide a poor script with explosions and CGI. The two cops aren't really credible as bad guys either. The string of plot pleasing coincidences got rather irritating. It's not a comedy, it's not drama, I'm not sure it's a thriller, I just feel like this simply needed a better story. Or maybe pretending it's a comedy is meant to justify the stupidity of certain plot elements? Like, why would a boring island house 2 hitmen who have letterboxes opposite each other? That's not funny, but it's intellectually pretty insulting.

In surprisingly dark (ultimately) small-town crime dramedy "Greedy People" a sleepy US island community's new cop Himesh Patel accidentally kills a lady... sparking a twisty tale involving $1m, Patel's wife Lily James, his brash partner Joseph Gordon-Levitt (over-doing it), their boss Uzo Aduba, the victim's hubbie Tim Blake Nelson, her masseuse Simon Rex, hit-men Jim Gaffigan (cameo) & José María Yazpik, and even (briefly) Joey Lauren Adams & Traci Lords. Director Potsy Ponciroli struggles with tone, but Mike Vikadinovich's first solo screenplay ultimately brings it all decently home (after starting too light & silly). It's yet another solid genre entry.
