Review of Killing Them Softly (2012) by Rob M — 26 Jul 2016

I recently watched this movie end-to-end for the third or fourth time, which in itself says something! I like the characters and seedy world of novelist George Higgins, and this movie captures (what innocent ol' me imagines to be) the feel of that world really well.

I loved watching the menacing, dirty and ever-patient world of these characters, and the performances were believable. I didn't like the underscoring/clips (the movie didn't need it) but did like depth and theme those clips were trying to capture.

I surely will watch and enjoy this movie again some day, much in the way I re-watch crime movies like Drive and Chinatown :).
