Great gangster movie. Case arrived damaged in transit, so returned it without opening. Returning was complicated as it was “media” and the store couldn’t put back into my account the points I’d used, so they finally gave me a gift card instead.

Picked it up as it was mentioned in Greil Marcus' History of Rock'N'Roll in 10 Songs. In the Chapter on Money (That's What I Want), Marcus closes it out with Pitt's dialogue with Richard Jenkins. Great commentary on what America is.

Amazing performances throughout and an intense story to boot only makes this film unforgettable. Lots of intense action sequences laced between the dirty underbelly of American society keeps you on your toes, and once the finale rolls in you'll be shocked and awed.

Sort of low rent Scorcese, but gritty and entertaining. A heist by some dimbulb bad guys of a mob poker game that quickly comes apart at the seams. A bit talky at times, but the dialogue is ripe. And when the action kicks in, it's brutal and suspenseful and provocatively staged. A bevy of terrific performances by Scoot McNairy, the late James Gandolfini, and Brad Pitt as a philosophical hitman, who delivers one of the most chilling and political final movie linex I've ever heard. Found myself riveted every time I came across this on cable, so bought it. Happy I did.

Was a disappointed in this movie. Lack of complexity with the plot, fairly weak storyline. Could have told the story in an hour, just not enough going on. With that bring said, I'll watch it again hoping to find a little more. Couldn't recommend this movie to anyone. Very average at best.
