Killing them Softly

I picked this movie up off of Netflix for my grandmother not expecting a lot from it.  She wanted to see it because she loves anything with Brad Pitt or Angelina Jolie in it.  To put it a nice way I thought this movie was terrible and I could not recommend it to anyone.  Don’t get me wrong the movie had a lot of promise at least with the Stars that were in the film with Brad Pitt and James Gandolfini.  The story went something like this.  There were these two low lifes in the film that needed a quick way to earn some money.  Never hired by, essentially a crime boss to rob a high-stakes poker game.  After the robbery which one successful a hit was put out on them.  Long story short one of the hitmen was Brad Pitt. Spoilers…  Brad Pitt gets the men he was hired to take out and is paid for the job at the end of the film.  This glosses over a lot of the violence and the whole guarantee that was in the film was really not necessary.  I don’t think the director had a very well fleshed out script.  To me, it looked like he was making it up as he went along.  In the end, it didn’t come together very well and it was a very low value watching this film and I cannot recommend it.
