Making a Killing

About This Movie

So, 'Making a Killing' has this gritty vibe that really complements its crime narrative. Hywel Morgan as Jake Summer delivers a performance that’s both intense and layered, grappling with guilt and desperation after a violent act erupts in his life. The pacing is a bit uneven; it stumbles occasionally but somehow adds to the tension as Jake and Chad, played by Sean Gallagher, dive deeper into this dark hole of deceit and moral ambiguity. The absence of the body looms large—it's like a ticking clock that amplifies the pressure. The atmosphere is saturated with a sense of foreboding, and the practical effects, while not extravagant, serve the story well. It's a curious little piece that reflects on the lengths people go for money and redemption.
