Synopsis

Michel and Cathy, wed for longer than they can remember, lead a quiet but monotonous life in the mountains. When a bear bursts out in front of Michel’s car, accidentally killing two drug dealers and revealing a €2 million loot in the process, their life takes an unpredictable turn, especially when they decide to cover up the incident and keep the money! But their plan leads them to stumble upon an unexplained trail of dead bodies. More used to being honest than crooked, Michel and Cathy’s clumsy cover-up efforts soon put an interfering inspector hot on their trail.

Community Reviews

Audiences found 'How to Make a Killing' to be a delightful blend of comedy and thriller, with a dark twist that often reminded them of the Coen Brothers' style. The performances, particularly by Franck Dubosc, Laure Calamy, and Benoît Poelvoorde, were frequently praised for their depth and humor. While the film's unique blend of genres and unexpected plot twists were generally appreciated, some viewers felt the pacing was uneven and the storyline sometimes strayed into implausibility.

👍 Stellar performances and dark humor.

👎 Some found the plot implausible.
