Killing Them Softly

This movie was really good! I watched it while I was feeling sick, and ladies - Brad Pitt will make you feel better ;) Don't worry gentlemen, this is no Rom-Com.

This movie was stocked with a killer cast of not only Brad Pitt, but also James Gandolfini, Ray Liotta, Richard Jenkins, and many more. It was a mob movie, but the viewer never gets to meet the mob - just the counsel, played by Richard Jenkins. With scenes of Jenkins and Pitt going over what needs to happen, to who, and why - I felt completely enraptured by how smooth and deliberate their delivery and conversations were. The portrayal of brutal retaliation to those who have offended or wronged the mob appeared authentic and would have made Mario Puzo (author of Godfather) proud.

The best and ultimate part of this movie for me was the final scene with Pitt and Jenkins at the bar. Pitt's cold attitude and final monologue had me holding my breath.

I give this movie a 5 - no nonsense, no jokes, you will love this movie.
