Review of Killing Them Softly (2012) by Kj P — 23 Jun 2013

Nicholas Winding Refn and Quentin Tarantino had a baby, and it's not as beautiful as I was hoping for, but it's still a very very good movie. This dialogue driven piece has violence periodically throughout the film.

It is a slow story about three very different groups of people who are all in pursuit of different things, while the core of the movie revolves around death. There are many intense conversations throughout the film and when the violence kicks in, it hits very hard.

I felt sorry for the good guys, the bad guys, and the guys whom nothing really happen to, which is hard for a film to pull off, especially in just over 90-minutes. Every actor gives it their all and the story (although not entirely original) is extremely well displayed.

"Killing Them Softly" is a slick and well-aced picture. I had a blast watching it.
