    Killing Me Softly

    by susjim

    The individual acting and technical aspects (especially sounds) of the movie were good. Too bad there wasn't a storyline. A lotta self indulgence on Brad Pitts part.

    Killing Them Slowly

    by Xonnel

    Movie took forever to get going...in fact it never "really" did. Great characters and wonderful acting but story too slow. I blame the demise of what could have been a cult favorite because of the interesting characters on the director. Somebody please call Quentin Tarantino.

    KILLING THEM SOFTLY WORST WORST WORST

    by mjnovel

    Worst movie i ever saw.What an insult to my intelligences.WORST WORST WORST. How did Brad Pitt sign on for this movie .He must be desperate for money for his wedding.I wanted to walk out as soon as i heard Obama talking. To get people in to see a movie and then push politics down your throat.The director should be arrested.

    Horrible movie

    by

    By-far, the worst movie I've ever seen. I only watched the entire thing because I couldn't believe that many great actors could be in such a Train wreck. Worse than Gigli .

    Deeply intense

    by nhleees

    This is a deep, character study of organized crime with some pretty interesting characters. As usual, Brad Pitt does a great job, however, I never really connect (not sure we're meant to) with his character or any of the others, for that matter. So, you kind of watch the story unfold in a detached sort of way. It's interesting and holds your attention, but I certainly didn't leave thinking "wow, what a great movie." I'd recommend waiting for it to come out on Pay per view or Netflix rather than splurging on a theater ticket.

    killing them softy

    by geodann

    The movie started out well. The suspense ended early in the film , and there was too much killing that made its point too many times. It is a shame. There were great actors in the film but the movie will not carry your interest. I would not recommend the film based on acting alone.

    Not the worst, but close

    by kenxq5471

    This movie was nearly the worst movie I have watched. Leaving the theater I told my wife that we would have to see two excellent movies to get this one out of my mind. The story plot seemed lost in a vacuum as well as the talent of several big name actors like Gandolfini and Pitt. Perhaps Pitt's movies Babel and Snatch were worse movies but not by much.

    Killing Them Softly

    by silverscreen_buff

    The WORST movie I have ever seen!!! I was there with three other people who feel the same.

    Our biggest dilemma was figuring out when to walk out. I have never walked out of movie before, Killing Them Softly warranted our retreat.

    We should have known when we walked into the theater and there were only five other people.

    I wouldn't even rent this one.

    Killing Them Softly

    by buccieri

    This movie killed me, but not softly. It drug from beginning to the end. This is the first movie I really did not like any part of.

    I started to leave half way through. Didn't but should have.

    I went because I like a number of the actors in it. That wasn't enough.

    Not what I was expecting

    by

    Slow, too artistic and heavy handed. Trying to make a statement but you're never quite sure what it is. Brad Pitt is good doing... whatever it is he's trying to do here. But overall not an enjoyable, enlightening or powerful movie.

    Don't bother...

    by DMNXD

    Typically Brad Pitt movies over the years have been entertaining so I don't bother to check what other people think and rate his movies but man this one really stunk!

    This movies is so slow and dumb. If you want to punish someone then tell them to go see this movie. They'll hate you for eternity. Brad's character tried to say something profound or enigmatic (like his channel commercial -- all blah nonsense) at the end of the movie... I just got up and left to spare myself from further self-inflicted pain.

    Don't waste your money.

    SAVE YOUR MONEY - THIS MOVIE TOTALLY SUCKS!

    by Beverly Hills Ninja

    OK, so... my wife & I went out to the movies last night, which we usually never do because of the ridiculously high ticket prices - but we figured with so many good movies out right now, why not - right? WRONG! We went to see "Killing Them Softly" with Brad Pitt, James Gandolfini, Ray Liotta, Sam Shepard, Richard Jenkins figuring that with that cast it must be a great film! Ugh! What a total piece of crap!!!

    OMG! IT WAS THE SLOWEST MOVING, MOST CONFUSING, CONVOLUTED MOVIE I'VE EVER SEEN! It made Vanilla Sky look good! The critics love it which only proves that it's garbage. My boy, "Tony Soprano", had exactly TWO scenes in it and he totally sucked in both of them - and Brad Pitt was more loopy than he was in Snatch, Babel, and Twelve Monkeys all rolled into one.

    They say that this picture was made at a cost of $15 million and after the crappy opening weekend it had - the investors will be lucky to break even! Go see SKYFALL again before you waste a dime on this fiasco.

    Cheesey, drawn out contract hit.

    by

    This is not an exceptional movie, save your money and see something else. The ending is anti climactic, full of predictably bad dialogue from terribly poorly played bad guys... I regret seeing this movie.

    Kill ME Now

    by

    I wish I could put a Spoiler Alert on here, but there is nothing to spoil. The movie has nothing to talk about and was very hard to keep awake during the movie. Brad Pitt has really moved down a notch in my eyes when picking a movie. I mean when you hear the names like: Samuel Jackson, Morgan Freeman, Jennifer Anniston, or George Clooney, you automatically know the movie is going to be good. I felt that way about Brad Pitt as well. Really bad choice for him to have his name attached to this waste of time. Sad that his name is the ONLY thing that will sale this movie. He will end up paying in the long run, cause you can not trust him to make a good movie. It is not even the role he played, which is very different from his norm, the movie plot, if it had one, was terribly lacking. I would not even pay the $1at Redbox to see this movie again. Don't waste your $12, spend it on something more worth wild, like...buying new erasers for your pencils.
