    just missed

    by ashbymitchellsmith

    This movie was trying to be too much. It was like Mamet vs Tarantino vs Kevin Smith, and they all were on Qualuudes. Just tried to be a little too deep, a little too violent, a little too ironic. And it missed on all of them.

    Killing them Softly killed us

    by lynnie131

    This movie was a huge disappointment. Brad looked good but had absolutely no personality, movie was very slow moving and confusing. They sprinkled some well recognized past mobster actors in it to try and convince you, but failed miserably. James Gandolfini whom I happen to love had a very small pathetic part and would have done the movie some justice had they built it around him. Dont waste your money. Not even on DVD.

    I would wait to see this movie on HBO.

    by pramonfigueroa

    I was so excited to see Killing them softly but it was truly a big let down. I must admit Killing them softly is not going to be a Sopranos type movie even though some of the cast was in the movie, but overall I was pretty disappointed. I will not be purchasing this movie on DVD.

    Killing them softly

    by idreamofgills

    Like a VERY long Chanel No. 5 commercial. Pitt's character maintains an expressionless, monotonous vocal delivery style, as well as a blank facial expression. One doesn't care much about the characters to say nothing of the questionable plot development . . . essentially, " who cares?" is the feeling one takes out of the theatre. The one SLIGHT exception would be James Gandolfini's character who expresses some apparently genuine emotion, but only briefly, perhaps quickly squelched by the director. I guess is it possible that was the intended final result, but one doubts it sincerely. Not worth the admission price.

    Awful movie

    by imdianne

    My husband and I saw this movie in Sydney, Australia before it ever made it to the U.S. It was absolutely the worse move we've ever seen. That says it all! Please don't bother to see it on screen or even on DVD, save your money for a worth while movie.

    FOR THOSE WITH A BLOOD LUST, WHERE ALL THE "BAD" GUYS GET WHAT THEY EARNED AND DESERVED.

    by Peneflix

    Which was precisely what the audience suffered through 97 minutes of this brutal, taut expose where all are nefarious; just varying degrees of separation. The once, remarkably handsome Brad Pitt, plays philosophical "gun-for-hire", "Jackie Cogan" who "kills" from a distance, so as not to get too personal, sentimentally involved; his creed is ambushed by circumstances and his assassinations spread blood as intensely as water in post-Katrina , New Orleans...

    Director Andrew Dominik features a seasoned cast (Pitt, Richard Jenkins, Ray Liotta, James Gandolfini, Scott McNairy) in a glum, lugubrious plot, revolving around the financial woes of dismal, droll, untoward individuals...

    TWO STARS!!

    Mediocre story that is REALLY well shown

    by ethan.aust

    The cinematography is amazing.
    The plot is thin.
    They spent a decent amount of time on information that didnt pertain to the story and didnt spend enough time on the story.

    Walked out!

    This was a terrible flick. I desperately wanted to sit it out and find out where the "pop" was but after the second couple leaving and I had to follow. Boring and ill written.

    Please refund me!

    killing them softly

    by lottiehernandez

    What's wrong with Brad Pitt. Why is he making these lousy movies? I can't believe he acted in this piece of dirt movie. How come Bradley Cooper chooses so much better movies. Brad Pitt is good looking, sexy, great actor and then he starts making movies so bad that you eventually will have to stop going to watch his movies. Please Brad Pitt, wake up and smell the coffee. Just because you are good looking you don't have to work hard. Choose better movies. Apply yourself looking for better stories. I hope your family gives you some advice. I hope you make a better movie next time. I'm not going to go to the theater unless I read good reviews.

    was very disappointed. left the movie feeling sick because it sucked so bad. was very confusing and slow, never really knew what the hell was going on. the best part is the slow motion shooting scene.

    Don't bother

    by clos2thedge

    Ugh! 15 minutes into this movie my wife was pleading with me to go across the hall to watch another movie. The only good part about this movie was James Gandolfini. He was excellent portraying an aging hit man. Not even worth renting on DVD.

    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.
