Director: John Patton Ford

Cast: Glen Powell, Margaret Qualley, Jessica Henwick, Ed Harris, Bill Camp

How to Make a Killing is a 2026 British-French dark comedy thriller directed by John Patton Ford, starring Glen Powell and Margaret Qualley. A sharp, sardonic take on inherited wealth, family dysfunction, and the lengths one desperate man will go to seize what he believes is rightfully his.

What is How To Make A Killing about?

Becket Redfellow was cut off before he could walk — his obscenely rich family severed ties at birth, leaving him to build a life with his hands rather than his inheritance. Years later, working-class and fed up, Becket hatches an audacious plan to reclaim what was taken from him. Standing between him and a fortune are relatives who are every bit as ruthless as he has become. What unfolds is a darkly comic escalation of scheming, betrayal, and miscalculation, as Becket discovers that the family he barely knew is far more dangerous — and far more absurd — than he ever anticipated. Ford keeps the tone bracingly unpredictable, balancing genuine menace with pitch-black laughs.

Cast & crew

Glen Powell leads as Becket Redfellow, bringing the coiled intensity and deadpan timing the role demands. Margaret Qualley plays opposite him with her trademark mix of warmth and volatility. The supporting cast is stacked: Ed Harris and Bill Camp bring weathered gravitas as older family members, while Topher Grace and Zach Woods inject a vein of dry absurdist comedy. Jessica Henwick rounds out a formidable ensemble.

Context & significance

Dark comedies about class warfare and family greed translate powerfully to Persian-speaking diaspora audiences who know firsthand how wealth, obligation, and inheritance can fracture a family across generations and geographies. How to Make a Killing sits in a tradition of British-inflected black comedies — think sharp social critique wrapped in pitch-dark humor — a genre with a long appreciation among Iranian viewers. The film carries Persian DUB, making it fully accessible without reading subtitles, and its international co-production across the UK, France, and South Africa gives it a cosmopolitan visual texture that plays well on a global platform like K-Time.
