Killing Them Softly

A full year of drinking election Kool-Aid the very last thing I needed during my movie going experience is a director’s view on politics. That is how Killing Them Softly starts and ends. Director Andrew Dominik makes a huge mistake by adding this in the movie right after an election. The second mistake he makes is casting 2 key actors from the HBO series The Sopranos. The movie is about Jackie Cogan, played by Brad Pitt, an enforcer hired to restore order after three stupid guys rob a Mob protected card game, causing the local criminal economy to collapse. The one right thing about this movie is Brad Pitt who does the best he can with the material. There is lots of slow motion shots and endless dialogue that could have been handled better by Quentin Tarantino.


Veridict:
A must not see! While watching this mess it made me think of why doesn’t HBO just pay David Chase a Gazillion dollars to make The Sapronos movie? Do you think we will ever see a Sopranos movie?
