Director Andrew Dominik reteams with Brad Pitt for Killing Them Softly, a screen adaptation of George V. Higgins' crime novel Cogan's Trade.
Dominik uses dry, dark humour and bleak, brutal violence to do a intricate character study wrapped around American political allegories that is stylish, absorbing and well-acted. All that aside, it never completely comes full circle and leaves a bit to be desired once the credits start rolling.
