    Boring drawnout annoying-no action worst movie

    by eyeseemovie

    It takes skill to make a mob movie like watching The View, its like a collection of talk shows of guys in cars talking just to pass the time. 3 action scenes in the whole thing, and most are so lame. Most of movie is filler between the few action. Brad Pitt only participates in one action and watching him keep talking is more annoying then Gardofilini(tony soprano) which doesnt do anything else. Worst movie of the year. What the heck are the broadcast of the 2008 elections and economy have to do with anything.
    Try to find a great speech about andrew jackson by brad pitt at the end of the movie, elsewhere instead of the movie.

    Killing them softly

    by Paulapinhas

    I didn't like the film! It was slow and depressing without much of a story. The acting as good but that didn't help. Around 20 people got up and walked out! I wish I had walked out because I can never get back the 11/2 hour I wasted in this movie!!

    Sort of a poor mans Tarantino, but not.

    by archerman

    What happened to Hollywood writers? Where they unavailable for this? This was the most uninteresting mobster/heist movie I've ever seen. Great actors. Great cinematography. But what about story? What about clever dialog? Not here folks.
    The writing was lame. Just boring rambling in a wannabe Tarantino sort of way. Nothing new, clever or funny in the "black comedy" this was supposed to be. Pitt was good as usual as was the rest of the cast but the script was not worth the effort.
    Some interesting visuals. That's about it.

    Manage your expectations...

    by

    If you like well written dialogue and good acting you will like this movie. If you expect a huge, production, shoot them up..this isn't it. It has some technical flaws but you can overlook them for the quality of the performances. It's slow and methodical but it gets there and the scenes that are meant to be graphic are that...very graphic. If you like your murders sanitary, this isn't it...they do what they are meant to do and that is revolt you.

    One of my list of "Worse Top Ten" movies of all time

    by area51962

    This was the most disjoined, jerky, poorly written wait of time I've seen since I went to see the Master, another one on my "Worse List"...the Master, "Talking to Goats" and a few Chuck Noris movies.

    Good movie, but not for everyone

    by zxmoore1

    I enjoyed this movie, even though it was slow building. A lot of the "boring" dialogue that people have talked about as mindless or not needed actually was great character development throughout. You were given a great look into the minds of those who commit crimes and why. As for Brad Pitt, he did a good job in his role but he should in no way be the cover of this movie poster. The movie as a whole was very graphic and pulls no punches. If you are easily offended or politically biased, don't waste your time because its not for you.

    Unbiased Opinions.....or lack thereof!

    by

    I have to say that it's incredibly hilarious to see how many ACTUAL PEOPLE say that this movie is a no-go, mostly due to heavy-handed political messages, while so many "unbiased" professional movie reviewers give it 100% GO rating. It kinda seems like they might be....I dunno....paid off? In any case, I agree with the other no-go critics. Go watch an ACTUAL Tarantino movie and leave this political statement to suffer in obscurity.

    Killing Them Softly

    by jwhiteley

    People began walking out on this film about 15 minutes into it. The actors and make-up are very real for the peolpe they are trying to portray, but the script is laborious at best. How long can you watch someone down drinks and rant? As increasingly more people continued to exit the theatre, the answer is about 30 minutes. We were a little more patient and lasted 45 minutes. We were hoping for some redeaming value, but it never came. Watching bullets exit a skull in slow motion does not a movie make. If it wasn't for the stars that are in this movie it would have never been released to theatres.

    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.

    Killing Them Softly

    by dennysteve

    This movie should be re-titled "Killing the Audience Slowly"! One of the worst movies (if not the worst) that I have seen in years. My wife and I almost left after the first 15 minutes. The plot was lame, the slow-motion brutality was unnecessary, the continuity between and during scenes poor. i.e. cocktail glasses at the airport bar.

    Overall, my suggestion is to stay away from this dog!

    Trying to sell Brad Pitt

    by Nutt32

    "Killing them softly" will have you asking for your money back at the box office. All of the good and exciting parts of the movie are shown in the trailor. I believe they tried to sell this movie by piecing together the trailor in a way that leaves you expecting way more than the movie delivers. The trailor led you to believe that Brad Pitt would be a hired killing and have various contracts to full fill which is far from the truth. Also James Ganfolfini role was well overplayed in the trailor as well because his charcter hardly does anything in the movie and the film could have gone without his role as well. I believe they tried to sell this movie with Brad Pitt and although that might get some to the box office it won't keep them coming back. Please don't waste your time watching this film it leaves you disappointed and wishing you had the time back that you spent watching it. This movie could have and should have been much better.

    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.

    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.
