Review For Killing Them Softly |
'Killing Them Softly' collapses under the crushing weight of the director's narcissism. Richard Roeper-Richard Roeper.com
Like its source material, the movie is stylish, profane, intelligent, and eminently diverting. But as much as it is a delight that Dominik has disinterred Higgins's work, it is a mild disappointment that the result is not more substantial. Christopher Orr-The Atlantic
Trading in pleasures of a deliberately rarefied sort, writer-director Andrew Dominik's talky, character-rich genre piece largely short-circuits thrills to sketch a grimly funny portrait of thugs taking care of business, in every rotten sense of the word. Justin Chang-Variety
Ultimately, as crafted as Killing Them Softly is, it's less satisfying than either The Sopranos or Goodfellas. Still, Dominik and his cast cruise some very mean streets indeed. Lisa Kennedy-Denver Post
The dialogue is sharp and so are the performances. Andrew Dominik directed this neo-noir in a low-key comic style that's alternately gritty and fancy. The gritty stuff is best. Peter Rainer-Christian Science Monitor
A stylish, brutal affair that delivers grim atmosphere and punishing violence but loses impact in telegraphing its political punches. Liam Lacey-Globe and Mail
Australian director Andrew Dominik mixes conventional mobster mayhem with an unconventional take on gangsters caught up in the Great Recession. And with Brad Pitt as his ideologically enraged male muse hitman, as if wandering in from Occupy Wall Street. Prairie Miller-WBAI Radio
While Dominik flourishes when it comes to the picture's excessive violence, he seems to be unable to balance those sequences with the drawn-out scenes of dialogue, which, while delivered nicely, kill any momentum the film might have had. Jeremy Wheeler-TV Guide's Movie Guide
Good actors and unimpeachable source material hampered by faulty chatter, leading to thumb-twiddling. Kelly Vance-East Bay Express
Director Andrew Dominik controls the clock Marty Mapes-Movie Habit
Weary and familiar foray in to gangster turf Robert Denerstein-Movie Habit
It's a rollercoaster: long talky tete a tetes, punctuated with shocking violence (both of which are masterfully presented). Staci Layne Wilson-StaciWilson.com
Killing Them Softly finds its own rhythm and eventually its own way of building dread, punctuated by bravura cinematic moments that won't soon be forgotten Eric Melin-Scene-Stealers.com
The completely obvious comparison to the mobster world and our American economic system is a welcome, straight-forward surprise for storytelling. Jeff Bayer-The Scorecard Review
The pace is deliberate, yet that simmering sociopolitical undercurrent gives Killing Them Softly more weight than its rather conventional concept might suggest. Todd Jorgenson-Cinemalogue.com
Jackie Cogan understands his fate in a way that the other smart guys don't quite, an understanding that makes him seem somehow smarter. Cynthia Fuchs-PopPolitics.com
Jackie Cogan (Brad Pitt) understands his fate in a way that the other smart guys don't quite, an understanding that makes him seem somehow smarter. Cynthia Fuchs-PopMatters
Killing Them Softly positions itself as a heady piece of entertainment, but it's ultimately no more intelligent than The Pet Goat. Matt Brunson-Creative Loafing
It's a pleasure to watch Pitt work in dialogue-rich, subversively comic film noir. John Wirt-Advocate (Baton Rouge, LA)
Another one of those films that makes you wish Quentin Tarantino had taken up hotel and restaurant management. Jeffrey Westhoff-Northwest Herald (Crystal Lake, IL)
Ray Liotta gets his butt super kicked in this one. It's actually quite scary. Bob Grimm-Reno News and Review
Emerging director Andrew Dominick comes out swinging in this nonsensical gangland farce. Ron Wilkinson-Monsters and Critics
Another misfire for Brad Pitt. This hit man story is overly talkative and lacking in entertainment value Jackie K. Cooper-jackiekcooper.com
The closing punchline is such a knockout, you might forgive the lack of subtlety preceding it. Brett Michel-Boston Phoenix
Absent poppy dialogue and a few terrifically well-staged action scenes, the director doesn't seem very alive to the material. Tim Brayton-Antagony & Ecstasy
Pitt's best work in years. His final, show-stopping speech is phenomenal. Ed Gibbs-The National
