Starring : Brad Pitt, Scoot McNairy, Ben Mendelsohn, Richard Jenkins, James Gandolfini, Ray Liotta, Vincent Curatola
Director : Andrew Dominik
Running Time : 98 mins
When three incompetent criminals come up with a plan for robbing a mob fronted card game and blaming it on the guy who was in charge Jackie Cogan (Pitt), a hit man for hire, is brought in to track down those responsible for causing the collapse of the local criminal economy.
This was a pretty decent crime caper movie with some solid performances from all involved. The plot is simple and easy enough to follow, and the direction is some of the best I’ve seen in a long time, especially the scene where Ray Liotta gets shot. Fans of Pitt will be reminded a little of his performance in Burn After Reading, and if you’re not already familiar with Scott McNairy of Monsters and Argo fame then check out In Search Of A Midnight Kiss. There are plenty of surprises as the movie progresses, but the ending cuts a little short for my liking.
