Killing Them Softly (2012 Andrew Dominik & co-scr)

Lasted (endured, as it turned out) 34 minutes, then jointly decided it wasn't for us - we hadn't even made it to James Gandolfini, but a terribly dull hold-up had taken place by a couple of totally unattractive characters, then there was a particularly violent and gratuitous beating up of Ray Liotta and we thought 'life's too short'. Also we don't like Brad Pitt or his films much.

Dominik did the equally divisive The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford and Chopper.

I was suckered in by a trailer which made it look like a black comedy.
