Killing Them Softly


Movie: Killing Them Softly
Genre: drama
Synopsis: Jackie (Brad Pitt) is a highly skilled mob enforcer.  Two men of questionable intelligence decide a quick way to make some money would be to rob an illegal high-stakes poker game.  The problem is that the gaming establishment is owned by the mob.  They think they have it all figured out – but they don’t.  Before long, the local mob boss brings in Jackie to find and eliminate the two.

My two cents: This was an interesting twist on the standard mob-type drama. Jackie is not your typical mob enforcer.  He has ‘rules’, such as never do a hit on someone you know – they will just make you feel bad about killing them.  There is a lot of dark humor.  I really enjoyed it.
