Critics Consensus

Joseph Gordon-Levitt plays a doofus with entertaining savvy in Greedy People, a shaggy crime comedy that welcomes unflattering comparisons to better examples of the genre.

Peter Bradshaw

Guardian

It’s not a bad premise by any means, but a noir romp, however bizarre and farcical, surely has to take place in a recognisably real world where there are plausibly real constraints on people’s behaviour.

Rated: 2/5

Does it make any sense? No. But I was cracking up from scene to scene.

San Jose Mercury News

It doesn’t always work, but it more often than not hits its target, thanks to the performances and an unexpected ending.

Rated: 2.5/4

Geek Vibes Nation

The film manages to be memorable, funny, thought-provoking, and leaves us with a common, but important lesson. The power of greed is nearly infinite, unless we have a higher code and do not simply accept that the world is evil and waiting to pounce.

Rated: 7.5/10

Radio Times

With the majority of its main characters unlikeable, there's nobody to root for - which undoes much of the tension.

Rated: 3/5

It's a shame that the final result is not greater than the sum of its parts. [Full review in Spanish]

Not bad but had the potential to have been a lot better. And pray what's Gordon-Levitt doing acting in this indie flick? And that too in a not-so-memorable part.. fallen on hard times, eh..

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Underrated…. Not as good as Fargo, but similar dark comedy asking why bad people do bad things. Good cast & acting.
