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

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.

Rated: 3/5

Watch it if you want a reminder of just how good Joseph Gordon-Levitt is or to see how far one can take a crazy idea and run with it.

Rated: 3/5

Greedy People, directed by Potsy Ponciroli from a screenplay by Nichael Vukadinovich, never stops trying to claw its way out of the morass but fails.

The plot went off too abruptly killing too many people which seems somewhat illogical.

Too many plot twists for it's own good. JGL is good, but other than that, a thoroughly mediocre movie.

This was a ride of a film. I enjoyed it a lot and it reminded me of burn after reading. Everyone all over the place is a genre in and of itself. You get many surprises along the way here and won't be disappointed. I was quite pleasantly surprised after watching. Joseph gordon levitt is great and so were the rest of the cast. I am surprised this film wasn't bigger, but clearly wasn't advertised much compared to other big box films. There was something happy go lucky about the movie despite all the chaos throughout. I was happy about it and feel like there isn't much else to compare it to - quite a unique movie.
