Killing Them Softly
When two amateur thugs (Scoot McNairy and Ben Mendelsohn) and their boss (Vincent Curatola) make it seem as though a mobster (Ray Liotta) is responsible for the robbery of a Mafia-run poker game in New Orleans in this disappointing, violent, thin-plot, slow-moving, rain-soaked, star-dotted (Richard Jenkins, Sam Shepard, James Gandolfini, and Garrett Dillahunt), 97-minute film, which is adapted from George V. Higgins's Cogan's Trade 1974 crime novel, an aloof contract killer/enforcer (Brad Pitt) is called in to take care of all those involved.
