Review of Greed (2019) by Ginak — 07 Mar 2020
An uneven comedy about an aggressive and amoral entrepreneur. We follow the life of Sir Richard McCreadie, played by Steve Coogan, from his days at prep school to his death. He cheats constantly and is never likable because he is always ready to take advantage of everyone from his employees to his family – anyone who crosses his path.
Not savage enough to be satire, the film is entertaining (more or less) but its focus is too fuzzy to make the audience really care about anyone or what happens to them. Watch “The Trip to Italy” and “The Trip to Spain” instead.
They are simply witty and entertaining without the failed attempts at satire and social commentary in this film.
