Killing Them Softly

“Killing Them Softly” is different from my typical choice of mob flicks. It slowed down the pace of dialogue scenes to a relatable and believable level, made the violence far more realistic and be summed up as hard-boiled; much of it can be defined by the difficult achievement of not falling into played out Hollywood clichés. There are no Schwartzenegger-style shoot outs, as the violence is usually sudden but brutal and loud. Every gunshot is closer to being as loud as real life, so you get a little jolt with every shot like being at a gun range. This is the sort of movie you could expect if the hero was removed and you only had the villains and thugs left over
