Review of Killing Them Softly (2012) by Marc R — 15 Jan 2016
Scoot McNairy delivers a great performance alongside an enigmatic turn from Brad Pitt. These players are supported by a strong cast in a solid crime thriller that is unfortunately let down by it's own vanity.
The lack of subtlety is apparent from start to finish. You are aware that this film is trying to deliver a message, and are reminded of this at every possible moment.
As with every Andrew Dominik film, 'Killing Them Softly' is a cinematically stunning film. Each frame is bleak and coldly lit. One stand out scene being Ray Liotta's character being beaten in a rain-drenched parking lot.
A scathing commentary on America's Capitilist agenda; this film failed to make a mark on the box office. But at the end of the day "It's only money".
