"America is not a country, it is a business. Now f****** pay me"
When three small time criminals rob the mob, an assassin (Brad Pitt) is called in to settle the account. Shot in post-Katrina New Orleans against the backdrop of the US presidential campaign, the movie remarkably draws parallels with the state (and the loot) of the American economy with the business of the mob, and the ruthless desperation to win.
An amazing cast that includes James Gandolfini, Ray Liotta, Sam Rockwell and Scoot McNairy, led by Brad Pitt, put in stunning performances. The dialogue is irreverently funny, the action is infrequent, but when it comes, it is a shocker. The movie can be a little slow, especially in the second half, and subtitles will help many who may not catch the accents clearly, but otherwise this is a very good action flick.
Watch it, especially for the exchanges between Brad Pitt and James Gandolfini, and between Sam and Scoot. A good watch for crime thriller buffs!
