KILLING THEM SOFTLY (2012) -starring- Brad Pitt, Scoot McNairy, Ben Mendelsohn, Richard Jenkins, Ray Liotta, Sam Shepard & James Gandolfini. Directed by Andrew Dominik.
SYNOPSIS: This gangster/drama film was adapted from a novel called, "Killing Them Softly" by George V. Higgins. A professional enforcer in New Orleans named Jackie Cogan (Pitt) investigates a heist that occurs during a "high-stakes" mob-affiliated poker game.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT: How ironic that 20 years ago in True Romance, a hitman, mobster (James Gandolfini) confronted a young, hippie stoner (Brad Pitt) in his house –asking him the whereabouts of the stolen cocaine...looks like the roles are reversed in this movie.
