In this darkly comedic crime thriller, rookie cop Will (Himesh Patel) and his rogue partner Terry (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) upend their small island town when they accidentally discover one million dollars at a crime scene (of their own making). After the duo unwisely decides to steal the money, the community’s quirky residents are lured into the mad dash for cash — ranging from an expectant mom (Lily James) to a masseur (Simon Rex) to a shrimp company owner (Tim Blake Nelson) — and everyone learns just how far they are willing to go for the almighty dollar.
Directed by Potsy Ponciroli, the film stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Lily James, Himesh Patel, Simon Rex, Tim Blake Nelson, Joey Lauren Adams, Uzo Aduba, Traci Lords and Jim Gaffigan.
Greedy People hits US cinemas on 23rd August and hits Digital Platforms in the UK on 23rd September 2024.

00:00New guy! Officer Shelly. Will. Officer Brogan here is going to show you the ropes. Play nice.
00:08I've really just got one piece of advice. Don't kill anybody unless you really have to because that shit is messy.
00:17This is Providence, man. Nothing happens here.
00:20Calling car two. Calling car two.
00:24Police! Come out with your hands up!
00:26What the fuck?!
00:29I'm sorry, ma'am. You've got to stay calm, okay?
00:31Fuck you! I'll show you calm here.
00:35Go to sleep, fucker!
00:40Oh, fuck me! What the fuck happened, Will?
00:44It was my number one piece of advice! Don't kill anybody unless you have to!
00:49We should get out of this. We make it look like a murder.
00:58We clean our tracks. We take the money and pin it on someone else.
01:02Have you done this before?
01:09Sir, you notice anything that was missing?
01:11Place is a mess, but no. Not one thing.
01:15Where is the money?
01:17I don't have the money.
01:19You built a house to kill your wife, but your wife was already killed.
01:22Somebody else killed her? That's just awful.
01:28What services did you provide for Mrs. Chetlow?
01:31Mostly massage.
01:33Tell them about the dancing.
01:35What kind of dancing?
01:38Well, sometimes, you know.
01:41What kind of son did I raise?
01:43Shut up, Ma!
01:45Tell anybody.
01:47Hey, babe, don't let on that you know anything.
01:49I just wanna see if we can trust him.
01:51I'm gonna get to the bottom of this.
01:53Tomorrow night, we go get the money and take off.
01:55Listen, Paige.
01:57Just be careful around here.
02:01Maybe it's not possible to live a good life.
02:05But you can know that you're not good.
02:08Which is better than believing you are.
02:15People are dead.
02:17It's too much loss for it to just be a coincidence.
02:23We're good people, and good things happen to good people.
