How to Make a Killing

2025 · 113 min Comedy Thriller Crime
6.5 / 10 · TMDB

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.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The comedy engine runs smoothly — pace, timing, situational hits. This isn't high comedy, but high comedy isn't what's needed here.

Half the jokes land, half don't — that's a normal result for the genre. The important thing is the film doesn't try to seem smarter than it is. Respect for that.

Works for a broad audience on Friday night. Not for those seeking satire or depth.

Director: Franck Dubosc
