Directed by: Andrew Dominik
Starring: Brad Pitt, Scoot McNairy, Ben Mendelsohn
Running time: 97 minutes
Based on the George
V. Higgins novel titled Cogan’s Trade, Killing Them Softly tells the
tale of three small-time crooks decide to rob a group of men during an illegal
gambling operation operated by the Mob. The Mob then hires two hitmen to take
care of this matter.
Brad Pitt is quite convincing in his role here. James Gandolfini offered something we were not used to with him, playing someone truly pathetic. As for the story itself, while it certainly had its moments of brilliance, it felt a little convoluted and messy for me. Still, I was entertained by this very imperfect movie.
