Killing Them Softly Reviews
Although it’s bound to be divisive for its unconventional structure, ruthless tone, and the cynical nature of its message, Killing Them Softly is a rare, exceedingly enjoyable, bleakly comic noir story.
| Original Score: 4/4 | Sep 20, 2022
A dirty, furious little gangster flick with as much to say about capitalism as it does how futile a life it is to live in this world.
| Jul 6, 2022
...ahead of the curve in terms of portraying the inherent nihilism of today's society...
| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 21, 2022
A slow-burning, understated stunner.
| Jun 17, 2021
A small, but multi-stranded drama that invites comparisons with Goodfellas or 온라인카지노추천's The Wire in its audaciousness.
| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Jun 1, 2021
A bit heavy on the politics and a little shallow in its character development, Killing Them Softly is still a profoundly watchable crime film.
| Nov 16, 2020
With a sharp and brutal edge of discourse and humor, this is a crime film that trades action for conversation.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 15, 2020
A poetic, slow motion dance of bullets, blood, and broken glass.
| Original Score: B- | Jul 11, 2020
Although the film tries to explain its version of capitalism, in a way, it lacks subtlety. [Full review in Spanish]
| Original Score: 5/10 | Jun 25, 2020
Killing Them Softly just kills it.....

Several decades from now, a generation or two removed from the financial woes of 2008, should grant the film a reputation of note, even if the plot is perilously paper thin.
| Aug 6, 2019
The craft is there, but the ideas are disappointingly simplistic, painting in broad strokes when it could have been so much more pointed using a finer brush.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 6, 2019
Despite Pitt, the always-great character actor Richard Jenkins and a few individual moments, this is a bland exercise that feels too much like leftover parts from better movies in the same genre.
| Apr 11, 2019
A supremely sharp, savagely swift (at just 97 mins) deconstruction of the American Dream, male machismo and the modern gangster movie.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 5, 2019
Sometimes its violence is ultraheightened, disgustingly real. Other times it's so stylized as to be barely felt.
| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Dec 19, 2018
Killing Them Softly isn't an action movie, but its scenes of violence are brutal and wince inducing.
| Original Score: 9/10 | Nov 1, 2018
It takes quality actors to pull off the dialogue, but that doesn't mean they can make Killing Them Softly much more interesting than watching paint dry.

Viciously funny.
| Original Score: B+ | Jan 26, 2018
Director and screenplay writer Andrew Dominik leads his superb cast wonderfully through this dark drama, based on the 1974 novel Cogan's Trade.
