This should be tighter, meaner, leaner, cutting. How to make a killing? Let’s worry about the smaller stuff first. Go to Full Review Amy Nicholson Los Angeles Times 6h
"How to Make a Killing" boasts an opening so strong that it buys enough audience goodwill to coast through nearly its entire running time. That’s priceless in a screwball murder movie in which everyone’s soul is for sale. Go to Full Review Bill Goodykoontz Arizona Republic 8h
3/5
In the end, “How to Make a Killing” is fine, fun, a nice diversion starring, if no longer the flavor of the month, then a good actor elevating the material around him. Go to Full Review Nate Adams The Only Critic 1h
C-
It’s not that “How to Make a Killing” needs to be 100 percent realistic, but within the rules of the world it creates, you need to believe it could maybe, possibly, conceivably happen. Go to Full Review Kate Sánchez But Why Tho? A Geek Community 4h
8/10
A different kind of grass-is-greener story, How To Make A Killing is a film made by its cast, and it excels thanks to Glen Powell’s inability to be anything but likable. Go to Full Review Rebecca Murray Showbiz Junkies 6h

Glen Powell totally nails the charm factor, even when he is stepping into the shoes of a character who is not exactly a saint. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
