Movies you've seen recently (Part 2)

Greedy People. There’s a pile of money up for grabs and murder/movie ensues.

I knew going in that the reviews were so-so, but I was intrigued by the eclectic cast. It includes Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Lily James, Tim Blake Nelson, Joey Lauren Adams, Uzo Aduba, and Jim Gaffigan. It even has Traci Lords in a small, but key, role. I thought her “mainstream” acting career ended a long time ago.

It is listed as a “comedy crime” movie. Sounds suspiciously like “dark comedy” which I have been burned on a lot. But it started off fine. Some fun goofy things but Joseph Gordon-Levitt was overdoing it to the max. OTOH, Uzo Aduba does a great job of a small town police chief, leaving “Crazy Eyes” in the dust. I didn’t see where the negative reviews were coming from.

But then. But then. Yeah. Well after over halfway thru the movie just went bad, off the rails, etc. It became a pointless mess. Okay, now I get why this was not rated better. It just ruined the movie for me.

Give it a half a speargun.
