Summary, a man decides to kill off his relatives to inherit some money.
Incredibly generic would be the best way to describe this, this fable of where chasing wealth gets you is one you have seen about 1000 times before and many times done better than here.
Almost every single character in this film is intensely dislikeable, if you’re supposed to root for Powell’s everyman that would be news to us. In many senses it reflects the worst parts of American culture where everyone is just obsessed with money, whether they have it or not it’s seemingly all anyone can ever think about.
It is the sort of film that shouldn’t have made it pass the idea stage, let alone taking up space that could instead be given to other films.
Overall, Margaret Qually deserves better than this.
1/5
Pros.
It’s short.
Cons
You have seen this before
It is dull
It is stale
The ending makes the whole thing pointless
