Tuesday Releases: Killing Them Softly & Lincoln

MARCH 26TH, 2013 KILLING THEM SOFTLY // Andrew Dominik’s first film in five years is nothing short of a success, with a perfect showing from Brad Pitt as a hired hitman. “Killing Them Softly” steps above its blatantly violent demeanor and delivers a poetic and troubling truth about the ugly state of capitalism, often with just as much heavy-handed-ness as its punches and gunshots, … Read More Tuesday Releases: Killing Them Softly & Lincoln
