Even though it did not win the Palm D’Or at the Cannes Film Festival this year, KILLING THEM SOFTLY it is still shaping up to be one hell of a good movie.
Director Andrew Dominik (THE ASSASSINATION OF JESSE JAMES BY THE COWARD ROBERT FORD) wrote the screenplay based on the novel Cogan’s Trade by George Higgins. In addition to an awesome poster we have this new clip featuring Brad Pitt and Richard Jenkins in which Pitt explains his preferred method for killing people.
