Killing them Softly is 90 minutes of mostly boring monologues given by good actors who should not have wasted their time being in this pretentious, depressing, crime movie.
The movie has one good robbery scene which last for about 15 minutes, and other than that, it is mainly a bunch of good actors giving excruciatingly painful to listen to, long, drawn out monologues, that one wishes would have been cut by at least half.
Thee are also some overly stylized, overly violent scenes, that seem like the director tried overly hard to make into "art", but instead comes across as disturbing and gratuitous.
Killing them Softly tries so hard to be a "work of art" crime film, and fails miserably. Good actors with a terrible, pretentious script and directing make this a dont waste your time and money movie.
Cons slow, pretentious, boring
No, I do not recommend this movie.
