Killing Them Softly

Killing Them Softly (R) 2012


Directed by Andrew Dominik


Starring:  Brad Pitt, Richard Jenkins, James Gandolfini, Ray Liotta, Scoot McNairy, Ben Mendelsohn, Vincent Curatola, Max Casella and Sam Shepard


Here We Go:  Two knuckleheads rob a mob card game and we spend the rest of the movie watching the repercussions.  With Pitt, Gandolfini and Liotta, this movie had potential but never quite seemed to get "there."  The story was very predictable, though well done.  The acting was good but without a wow factor.  Gandolfini seemed wasted in his role and Liotta does tough guy much better than whining whimp.  Pitt, surprisingly, played the hitman role well and was the highlight of an otherwise average, yet entertaining, movie.  


Bottom Line:  Watch it but don't pay for it.
