- Richie5. februar 2026Was really looking forward to this after seeing an FB reel of the card game robbery. Watched it tonight...was ok. Maybe I'm a simple movie watcher....i can't get all deep into symbolism and all that like I've seen some reviews get about this movie, but there was way too much talking going on for my liking. The buddy always high I found annoying. I don't even know what the point of Gandolfini being in the movie was. His role didn't add anything for me. I have no problem watching movies I like multiple times. This one I don't see myself watching again.
- BRANDON JAMES MCCOLLOUGH10. april 2025Andrew Dominik’s Killing Them Softly is a moody, stylized neo-noir thriller that merges crime drama with sharp political undertones. Based on George V. Higgins’ novel Cogan’s Trade, the film follows hitman Jackie Cogan (Brad Pitt) as he’s tasked with restoring order after an ill-advised robbery disrupts the local underworld economy. One of the film’s most compelling aspects is its bleak yet mesmerizing atmosphere. Dominik crafts a slow-burning tension, punctuated by moments of brutal violence and cynical humor. Pitt delivers an effortlessly cool yet quietly ruthless performance, backed by standout turns from James Gandolfini, Scoot McNairy, and Ray Liotta. While the film’s social commentary—tying criminal dealings to the broader collapse of the American economy—adds depth, some critics found the metaphor a bit heavy-handed. The pacing, deliberately languid, may test the patience of viewers expecting a more conventional crime thriller. Nonetheless, Killing Them Softly remains a slick, thought-provoking film that offers a unique take on crime and capitalism. If you appreciate noir with a political edge, this one is worth a watch.
