Brad Pitt stars in the movie 'Kill Them Gently'.
We already told you when we left you the trailer of the movie, Andrew Dominik has directed one of the best movies we've seen in recent weeks. After 'The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford', the director now brings us a proposal that rides between humor and film noir.
In addition to the excellence of the script, which Dominik himself has written from the novel by George V. Higgins, The director has managed to surround himself with an exceptional interpretive cast, including Brad Pitt, Richard Jenkins, James Gandolfini, Ray Liotta, Scout McNairy, Ben Mendelsohn and Sam Shepard, among others.
In 'Kill Them Gently' we will discover some not-too-intelligent criminals who have just been released from prison who decide to strike a new blow: rob a card game controlled by the mafia. Thus, dressed in a ridiculous look, they perpetrate the robbery and miraculously manage to carry it out successfully, but that is when the mafia decides to contact Jackie Cogan (Brad Pitt) to solve the case, find the thieves and kill them. Jackie, the only intelligent one in this story, will try to get his own slice.
Undoubtedly an argument, as we have said that gives a lot of play and with which Dominik makes us a proposal in the style of the best film noir, with a character of acidity and coldness that will delight all viewers who enjoy the genre.
Dominik highlights characters who, like everyone else, They are living the current economic crisis, but this crisis is also one of values, and it is this aspect that gives the uniqueness and personality to the director's proposal.
The photography, editing and soundtrack of a film that is running as a firm candidate to win an Oscar, and that you cannot lose yourself.
