Synopsis:Killing Them Softly follows professional enforcer, Jackie Cogan (Pitt), who investigates a heist that occurs during a high stakes, mob-protected, poker game. For Cogan is an enforcer; and when the Mobs rules get broken, he gets hired to ply his trade murder. In the gritty, tough-talking pages of Higginss 1974 national best-seller, Cogan is called in when a high-stake card game under the protection of the Mob is heisted. Expertly, with a ruthless businessmans efficiency, a shrewd sense of other peoples weaknesses, and a style as cold as his stare, Cogan moves with reliable precision to restore the status quo as ill-conceived capers and double-dealing shenanigans erupt into high-voltage violence.
