Killing Them Softly is all about KILLING! Small time mobsters hire it done by professional Hit men like Brad Pitt, Ray Liotta and James Gandolfini who in turn get their just rewards, eventually. Richard Jenkins shines in his roll as “driver”, calm and sinister!

Sadly this is one of, if not the last Movie James Gandolfini did. Odd he isn't even mentioned. What's odd the film is Ray Liotta getting his a$$ kicked rather than the reverse,
and Gandolfini isn't his competent self as Tony Soprano, but a bumbling hitman.

Crave violence? Crave profanity? Crave cynicism?
killing them softly is filled with all three.
Great cast, moderately complex story, with Brad Pitt's character not unlike his character in Snatch, just several degrees bloodier.
This crime drama contrasts the workings of a vicious batch of sociopaths with a series of news clips featuring Obama at his most idealistic and George W. Bush treading water through the banking crisis.
Few of the on-screen sociopaths survive to the final credits.
