Has a new ebb begun? Maybe it’s because we’re starting to feel the long wave of Trumpismit may be that the times are not the most suitable for hoping for a better future, but the films that put aside the idea of Justice, to open the door to rather questionable solutions (not to mention worse) are increasing.

Like this one Rich… to die for – Crimes in the family which begins with a condemned man in the death cell (the execution is scheduled for four hours) who tells the priest, who has come to give him a word of comfort, why he is there: convicted of a murder he says he didn’t commit.

He who instead admits having committed seven other murdersto eliminate those entitled to a fortune of 8 billion dollars from which he was excluded because he was an “illegitimate” child.
With a certain casual verve and a good dose of cheek we follow the story of this dollar hunter with the captivating smile of Glenn Powelldestined to fear female revenge more than the nose of investigators, a perfect (and smiling) metaphor of a world that is no longer ashamed of making money or promoting its social climbing by any means.
For those who want to spend a couple of hours without scruples or guilt.
