To say the movie “How to Make a Killing” was unhinged would be an understatement. Glen Powell plays a man determined to reclaim his place in an extremely wealthy family by slowly killing the few remaining relatives to gain access to the infamous family inheritance. The film blends satire with thrills in a way that takes on the messages of greed and selfishness. Basically, rich people’s problems, but make it criminal. 

Watching the film in an empty theater only heightened the experience. Gasps, laughter and loud reactions continued throughout the movie. Between the on-screen tension and our reactions, the movie was fast-paced and unpredictable, which set the tone for our live thoughts. Here are 95 thoughts we had while watching “How to Make a Killing.”
