The newly released trailer of How To Make A Killing offers a sharp, stylish look into a twisted story of greed, family betrayal and cold-blooded ambition. Glen Powell stars as Becket Redfellow, a man whose life takes a wild turn when he realises the fastest path to a billion-dollar inheritance may involve eliminating every obstacle in his way. The film, directed by John Patton Ford, blends dark humour with thriller elements, creating a world where wealth and morality clash in dangerous ways.

Becket Redfellow grew up estranged from his powerful and ultra-rich family after his mother was allegedly cast out while pregnant with him. The Redfellow dynasty is worth a staggering $28 billion, yet Becket finds himself last in a seven-person line of succession. What starts as a sarcastic joke about removing the relatives ahead of him quickly turns into a chilling plan. The trailer shows Becket becoming increasingly unhinged as he calculates ways to climb the family ladder, turning his desire for wealth into a chaotic and risky mission.

Becket’s personal life adds more fuel to the fire. His girlfriend senses something is wrong, while another mysterious woman seems to push his ambition even further. As relationships fray and motives conflict, the trailer hints at a spiral of deceit, rising tension and morally grey decisions. The glossy visuals and sharp performances amplify the darkly comic tone of the film.

The ensemble cast adds depth to the unfolding chaos, featuring Margaret Qualley, Ed Harris, Jessica Henwick, Topher Grace, Bill Camp, Zach Woods and Raff Law alongside Powell. With its mix of humour, suspense and a twisted inheritance chase, How To Make A Killing positions itself as one of the most intriguing thriller-comedies set to hit screens in 2025.
