Greed: It ain't good

Greed is a could've, should've, would've flick.
It could've been better.
It should've been better.
It would've been better if the script was actually funny. The Movie Slut chuckled a grand total of two times during this disappointing 1 hour and 44-minute flick.

Need she say more?
Of course not. But she will.

Steve Coogan is British billionaire Richard McCreadie, aka, Greedy McCreadie, whose outrageous and exploitive business practices may have seemed hilarious on paper. Not on the screen. This tycoon of fast fashion never met a struggling third-world business he wasn't keen to screw.

Making matters decidedly unfunnier, the film has a tacked on epilogue exposing the egregious way real companies take advantage of poor workers in impoverished countries.

So not funny.
