Killing Them Softly (Film Review)

Killing Them Softly

 
Killing Them Softly is an anachronism.  It does what no other recent films do today: it takes its time to tell a story and develop the characters.  You won’t get a narration explaining everything, or see countless CGI scenes to keep you interested for more than 30 seconds, or even much of a soundtrack from this gritty crime drama.  If instant gratification is your thing, then this film isn’t for you.  But if you’re willing to be patient and pay attention to the story, I recommended you watch this film. It took guts to be involved with this movie, and it was a financial failure, so you won’t see anything this risky again for a while.  

Favorite Line:
Coogan (Pitt): I guess these guys just wanna go to jail.  They probably feel at home there.
