Killing Them Softly


IMDB
First time viewed: Yes
Current Release: Yes
Watched With: Tyler, Paul

Loved it. Beautifully photographed, real classic 70's vibe, and sound design that made my jaw drop in a few spots. I can't get over that sound in the cinema. Add to that some great actors given the opportunity to sink their teeth into some interesting characters and great scenes. Scenes that play out more like scenes from a play, the dialogues go on longer than you're used to but always fascinating.

There are small bouts of violence that come quick and fast. Very effective. The story itself is vey simple and well told, but that's not really the focus here. It's not exactly on the nose but it makes for an effective satire too.

Very satisfying, and so classy.
