Review of Killing Them Softly (2012) by Jason C — 12 Aug 2013

Those wanting a gritty gangster film will find something to enjoy but wonder why Obama and Dubya keep appearing on tvs in the background. Those expecting high-brow culture with explicit violence will wonder why we should care about what happens to some of the central characters.

It's stylish, engaging to some extent and has some interesting points to make but essentially is not as thoughtful as it wishes it were.
