KILLING THEM SOFTLY

KILLING THEM SOFTLY comes to the Alamo October 19!

From the acclaimed novel by George V. Higgins comes an unblinking look at the bleak life of a mob enforcer. Brad Pitt plays Jackie Cogan, a professional enforcer investigating a heist unwisely performed during a mafia-run poker game. He co-stars with career fictional mafiosi James Gandolfini and Ray Liotta, along with Richard Jenkins, Sam Rockwell and Sam Shepard. It's a manly cast, is what I'm saying.

Written and directed by Andrew Dominik of THE ASSASSINATION OF JESSE JAMES BY THE COWARD ROBERT FORD fame, KILLING THEM SOFTLY delivers a jaw-dropping story and an incredible performance by Brad Pitt at his finest. (Meredith Borders)

"A juicy, bloody, grimy and profane crime drama that amply satisfies as a deep-dish genre piece, Killing Them Softly rather insistently also wants to be something more."--Todd McCarthy, HOLLYWOOD REPORTER

"In Killing Them Softly, Dominik's first feature since The Assassination of Jesse James, Pitt once again plays a quietly powerful sociopath, and once again the screen vibrates."--Owen Gleiberman, ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY

"It is outstandingly watchable, superbly and casually pessimistic, a world of slot-mouthed professional and semi-professional criminals always complaining about cleaning up the mess made by other screwups."--Peter Bradshaw, GUARDIAN UK
