3.5 stars
Very dark; Jim liked it. Brad Pitt stars as a slick hit man called in to whack some thugs. James Gandolfini co-stars as a profane pig of a man. I really hated his character. The acting is very good, but nothing we haven't already seen from any of these actors. The film moves slowly for dramatic effect, much like in the film Drive. However, in Drive, at least there was some hope for the characters to have a better future. In Softly, all the characters are losers, and whether they succeed in their schemes or not, will continue to be losers. Too dark for me and lacking any wry comic relief. But as I said, Jim liked it.
