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.

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

Radio Times

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

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

For all those who are tiring of banal cash-grabbing vanity projects that only make noise at the ticket windows, this crime comedy comes as a breather despite some flaws in the story.

Great movie, but heavy sigh, I had to deduct points for Gaffy trying to destroy the movie with his wildly tragic reductive imaginations, we get it Gaffy you're a simpleton, we are not all overly consuming, duh.

Derivative of similar films, doesn’t really live up to its title as it fails to progress in an original, interesting, or entertaining manner due to too many nice characters that never fully succumb to their greed. Ending sunk it into the abyss.

Greedy People film is exactly that! A film about a whole bunch of greedy people who are consumed by wanting everything and lots of money. When I really go back to this film there is no likeable character besides one person and I think that was the point when the story was crafted. There have been a lot of other films with similar storylines that have done a better job executing this premise. Joseph Gordon Levitt does a nice job here with an interesting accent delivery. Halfway through this film really starts to come unglued and doesn’t want to make up it’s mind on what kind of genre it wants to be. While the ending is somewhat bold it’s also very sloppy if that makes sense. Greedy People gets a middle of the road 2 1/2 stars out of 5.
