Mar. 26, 2013 DVD & Blu-ray: 'Killing Them Softly' with Brad Pitt and Ray Liotta (Photos)

From Andrew Dominik, the director of The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, comes the neo-noir crime drama film Killing Them Softly, which he wrote and directed. Based on George V. Higgins’ 1974 novel Cogan's Trade, it stars Brad Pitt, Richard Jenkins, James Gandolfini, Ray Liotta, Scoot McNairy, Ben Mendelsohn, Vincent Curatola, Max Casella, Trevor Long, Slaine and Sam Shepard.

When the American economy is in the toilet, three inexperienced bottom-feeding crooks, Johnny Amato, Frankie and Russell, decide to rob a Mob-protected card game run by Marky Trattman. The criminal economy is shaken and the much feared Jackie Cogan, an enforcer for the Mob, is hired to track down the idiots. Russell, a heroin addict, proves to be the weakest link that sends Cogan hot on their trails. One by one, he finds Johnny, Frankie and Russell and kills them softly to restore order.
