One of the most underrated films. Brilliant filmmaking appreciated by people with more than half a brain
well said, so was his previous film, even more so, I think.
The assassination of jesse james by the coward robert ford, great movie.. so was this. Dominic is s director in his own lane, has his own freeway actually
It’s up there on my favorite mob films! Love it.
it was mediocre at best and i didnt care about the political bs at all
@@freeman2511 you have shite taste then. Dominik is like the love child of Scorsese and Fincher...this movie will eventually be a cult classic.
Rip to Jimmy and Ray we lost legends
+ Sam Shepard
I liked how this film didn't seem glamorized. It seemed pretty down to Earth and realistic for a gangster film, at least to my eyes.
Yeah that slow motion 2 minute assassination from multiple angles, with bullet time, yeah not glamorizing it at all 😂🤣
@@jamescricketson9464 Yeah that scene was a little weird because all the other deaths are not glamorized at all. But at least it's beautiful
@@jamescricketson9464I think that shows how it feels for the hit man
I feel like this is one of those films where its title is what weirdly kept it from being a hit.
One of my top 5. The supporting cast is spectacular. Ben Mendelssohn is spectacular. Truly grubby role.
Great film. Watched it multiple times.
Best darn movie I've seen in a long time
Brad is great actor
In this film everyone's performance is outstanding
He's not near as good as Gandolfini
@@jerry85g7 only Deniro, Pacino, DiCaprio, Cranston, Aaron Paul, and Gyllenhall and probably Hugh Jackman are the only guys that are as good as Gandolfini
@@kdizzle901 Aaron Paul? And how about Denzel?
@@jerry85g7 Denzel is easily one of the all time greats.
Crazy that both Jimmy and Ray are gone.
3:45 lmao
1:18 Said by the guy who stole every scene.
that..............bar scene............before he gets ready to game..........is just................SPECTACULAR RIP James.
True, Brad is great
Brad is a great actor. But James wouldn't even have been upstaged by Brando. And ironically as I white this the director mentions Brando. James was iconic. A legend who went too soon.
Was that a 5.7mm?
ray liotta got bullied heavily on this flick, lol..
"get in the f*cking car markie"
Good movie, but a couple things here @Annapurna: when Markie gets killed, Jackie uses a Browning Hi-Power chambered for .30 Luger, which is a WW I era caliber no longer in common usage. Assassins generally speaking will not use uncommon weapons and calibers as they are easier to trace, unless they're Bond villains. Also, to film the spent cartridges ejecting from the weapon in slow motion, clearly revealing them as blanks (notice the crimped ends) is an incredible rookie mistake. If you need someone on a future film that knows something about guns, let me know.
This comment should be directed at Alec Baldwin's production company.
cringe
Absolutely cringe. It was a great movie. The allegory was fantastic.
I was wondering wtf it was. My first thought was 5.7mm but that didnt seem right at all
@@nectarinedreams7208 why? Does attention to detail not matter, or do you have such a mush brain, that you're unable to have critical thoughts about what you see in life?
On seeing the film I found it almost hard to believe just how much the screenwriter/director DIDN'T understand Higgins' novel, a resolutely UNPOLITICAL work the "auteur" determined to make about the economic crisis, "a failure of regulation," or some such other nonsense. Higgins' very non-dramatic stories aren't the easiest to turn into "plays" of any kind (for the screen, or--god knows--the stage, were anyone crazy enough to attempt such), but this guy ham-handedly imposes an entire ideologically-driven "meaning" onto Brad Pitts' character and his dialogue that has nothing to do with anything the novel is about in any way, shape, or form. Fortunate for the final product, the source material and the actors bringing those characters to life bring ALL of the fun, saving it from unwatchability--assuming you can ignore everything involving the American economy, the socio-political climate, the world around us, or whathaveyou. Ideological Hollywood at its crudest and most obvious.
As a huge Cogans Trade fan you summed it up perfectly. Thank you.
It's a terrible film
Bruhh its from a novel? Thank you so much. Guess im not sleeping tonight.
On seeing this comment I found it almost hard to believe just how much the commenter DIDN'T understand movies at all, was he supposed to do the same the book did? Nah, that's what the book's for, so why bother on repeating something, you create from a novel and use it as a pretext to create, it's not to please creepy fanboys
Pitt is a bit overrated
na...he's actually great. He's not just a pretty face
No so many actors got great screen presence like him
