Description

When Hollywood screenwriter David Sumner (James Marsden of Superman Returns, Death at a Funeral) and his wife return to her hometown they find tensions are high due to the locals who are threatening the new couple's presence. Amy Sumner (Kate Bosworth from Beyond the Sea, Superman Returns) is David's wife and comes from this Deep South Mississippi community so it makes sense that they would make the trip to this peaceful area to relax while he finishes a screenplay. The two of them soon learn this adventure is all about survival.lexander Skarsgard (Generation Kill) plays Amy's old boyfriend and he definitely wants to get her attention. Other talented cast members include James Woods, Dominic Purcell, Willa Holland, and Laz Alonso. The locals do not like intruders and even though Amy is from this sleepy little town she is no longer welcome, and neither is her "big city" husband. This film proves that a violent movie can definitely be remade and be even more violent and scary than the first.

Undoubtfully, cinematography has been my passion since a very young age. Even now, watching a new movie or series always prompts me to ask a lot of questions to the author. Thus, every little essay about a title is definitely not a spoiler, but rather an attempt to explore the idea.

Crime & Thriller
Brad Pitt plays Jackie Cogan in Andrew Dominik's crime thriller Killing Them Softly, a mobster whose task is to investigate an impudent murder which happened during the illegal poker game organized by mafia bosses. To have a holistic perception of the movie atmosphere just mix-up in your imagination The Sopranos, GoodFellas, Pulp Fiction and put them in a Bush/Obama post-crisis America of last half of 2008; ladle it with some thick layer of political dressing made of pragmatic thoughts and infallible Jackie Cogan's phrases about what happens with people when recession comes and who is responsible for all of this mess. Killing Them Softly is loosely based on George V. Higgins novel Cogan's Trade which he wrote in the period of time 1972 – 1974, when he worked as lawyer, specializing in crime processes involving mafia complicity. This fact leads us to believe that he knows a lot about the shady inside world of gangster's "paradise" which served as a perfectly sharpened background for Andrew Dominik's movie. Filmed for that point in post-Katrina New Orleans Killing Them Softly immerses us in the abyss of despair and hopelessness which enveloped everyone's minds and souls of in America, regardless of occupation – even for thorough-paced gangster – it's time to think about what's wrong with this world. The movie was nominated for the Palme d'Or at 65th Cannes Film Festival in 2012.
