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

Yes, this is a Coen Brothers knockoff. But as such knockoffs go, it’s not bad.

Common Sense Media

This crime comedy starts out well, with zany jokes, brutal surprises, and razor pacing, but it eventually succumbs to a grim seriousness and a plodding final stretch.

Rated: 2/5

Don't let the whimsical premise fool you into thinking this is a light-hearted comedy; Greedy People is far darker and becomes a disturbing crime noir in the second half. There are just enough entertaining scenes to keep viewers watching, but it doesn't change the fact that it's an okay movie.

Greedy People starts with a "lighthearted killing" and you think it's going to go the usual cover-up route...but the film is trying to say something. About how we're woven together, mostly over our selfishness.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Give this one a shot. It is a great ride! It is SPOT ON with the realities of a homegrown small town. I highly recommend NOT watching the trailer, it gives away too many surprises.
