Glen Powell’s Becket kills off his wealthy family members one by one in a bid to get his hands on his inheritance.
Glen Powell typically plays nice, good guys in films, but in How to Make a Killing, he breaks bad and tries his hand at portraying a killer.
In John Patton Ford’s dark comedy thriller, inspired by 1949’s Kind Hearts and Coronets, Powell plays Becket Redfellow, the son of a woman exiled from her wealthy family for having a child when she was an unmarried teenager. Despite this, Becket remains in line for the family fortune.
After his mother dies, Becket tries to live a normal life, but when he is let go from his job as a suit salesman, he decides it’s time to go after the money. He works his way up the Redfellow family tree and kills them off one by one to lay claim to his inheritance.
The film begins with Becket telling his story to a priest while behind bars in prison, hours before he is about to be executed. The story then cuts back and forth between the present prison tale and flashbacks to his killing spree.
