    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.

Little do they know, there are people who will do everything in their power to chase them and find who took their money.

    Killing them Softly

    by angelfigueroa

    This movie will take it's rightful place in the Hollywood Walk of shame. It has a horrible ending, poor plot line, and a muddled Political Message. According to this movie, America is a bad, bad place full of mindless assassins and evil poorly defined corporate entities. But, if you are going to denigrate this great country do it with a much better movie than this piece of Liberal Biased Crap.

    Brad pitt is why I went to see this film. BUT, even he couldn't save it. Rarely do I say this . "save your money, see something else".

    Gritty, Ugly, Bordering On Gruesome, Not Exactly Fun Entertainment.

    by Alon Patterson

    I suppose some people require this sort of stimulation as entertainment in order to fill a void they feel in their lives. I don't. I wish I could say I enjoyed this movie because I really do admire the work of Liotta, Pitt and that Sopranos guy....OK, maybe not that last guy so much. Anyway, you'd probably like to have your dinner after this feature, since it's going to make you nauseous, provided of course you don't fall asleep first. In fact, I saw a midnight showing with about 12 other people and an infant. In the end, most everyone was snoozing, EXCEPT the baby.....due to the loud noises no doubt. That "Emperor's New Clothes" crowd that follows Pitt around in a gaggle will probably swoon at this farce, as usual. As for the normal people.....well, unless you're INCREDIBLY bored, I'd advise waiting for the DVD or stream. For all the expensive talent and 'artsy fartsiness," this movie is just plain dull. Skip it. You'll be glad you did.

    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 Softly

    by CaptainRon46

    Horrible movie! Didn't understand the purpose of things that continued in the background throughout the movie. A lot of guys sitting around look at each other with no dialogue. Slow and boring . . . several people left in the middle. Unfortunately I stayed to the end thinking that surely there must be more to the story. Sadly, there wasn't. Two hours of my life that I will never get back.

    Wow!

    by seiken

    Looking at the type of fans that write reviews on here it's easy to see why there is such a discrepancy between the critical acclaim and fan reviews. Go see Twilight if you do not really appreciate good, solid film making. While the undercurrent in this film is a bit too obvious, the statement this film makes is very timely. The film is well-acted and well-written. One darn good film and a standout in a time when movies like the Twilight series make mega-bucks...

    Horrible

    by jm22680

    I'm sorry, I love Brad Pitt but this movie was very, very boring. I wouldn't see this again if they played it on TV for free. The sole and only thing I liked about the movie was the quote at the end. Other than that, nah, booo!

    Fooled by big names

    by bellegrae

    Ouch. Worst movie I have seen lately. Slow - like Pitt's swagger. Plot - slim. Directing - what directing? If there was a theme I missed it. I must have seen a different flick than the rest. Language not for kids. The title says it all - killing me softly at the box office.

    This is a total stinker, even Pitt could not pull it out of the toilet. In fact Brad must really be strapped for money to sink low enough to do this garbage.

    Expectations

    by foothills_jake

    I went to this movie expecting to see a Mafioso type hit man movie. It began with a lot of political speeches from Presidents Bush and Obama. I soon came to realize that the movie was actually a political observation disguised as a hit man movie. There was a lot of action and violence which could easily pull you away from the political statements. They were carefully weaved throughout the movie. Brad Pitt was excellent and carried the movie. Don't go if you expect to see just a hit man movie with a conclusive ending. This is a political statement and story is a parallel to the political statement..

    This is not the avengers.

    by

    The style of this film places all of it's focus on the acting with a little support from violence and mood changing scenery. That said it delivers it's story the same way Drive did a few months back. People that thrashed this film are just dumb 20 second thrill seekers. I especially can't stand the folks that say oh no. Really, then you do better jack holes...anyways this movie will not be a commercial success and that just fine by me. Pitt and the cast did a great job. See it once and never see it again.

    Killing Him Softly

    by KJG1

    Solid performances by a excellent cast and snappy, witty, dialogue are no substitute for a story that doesn't seem to know where it wants to go. While there is much to appreciate in this film, it can probably better enjoyed in the comforts of home.
