_[Greedy People](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt20201748/)_. 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. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/movies-youve-seen-recently-part-2/1006288)._
