What is Margaret Qualley and Glen Powell’s New Film About?
In How to Make a Killing, Glen Powell’s character was once surrounded by gilded luxury and opulence thanks to his obscenely wealthy upbringing. But when he unexpectedly gets disowned by his family, he’s forced to work a blue-collar job while living in a cramped and shoddy New York City apartment. Not exactly the diamond-encrusted mansion he remembers from his formative years. In his quest for financial gain, power, and respect, he embarks on a dangerous journey to secure his $28 billion inheritance. Now that’s a hefty sum!
Meanwhile, Margaret Qualley plays Powell’s witty friend, Julia, who helps him along the way.
