Brad Pitt believes we live in a ''very violent world'', which he believes is reflected in his new gangster movie 'Killing Them Softly'. Brad Pitt believes we live in a ''very violent world''. The 48-year-old actor - who is engaged to Angelina Jolie - believes his new gangster movie 'Killing Them Softly' represents wider changes in the world since the economic crash of 2008, and believes how violence is romanticised in cinema is an important question. He said: ''We live in a violent world. I certainly grew up hunting, which is a very violent act. ''Have you had a hamburger? The way they butcher a cow. It's barbaric. It's horrendous. We live in a very violent world. This is the world we live in. I see it as absolutely important to film. Now how is it shot? Is it aggrandised? It is romanticised? I think that's a fair question.''

The movie wowed critics at its Cannes showing, with the Guardian's Peter Bradshaw commenting, "It is outstandingly watchable, superbly and casually pessimistic, a world of slot-mouthed professional and semi-professional criminals always complaining about cleaning up the mess made by other screw-ups". Though Time magazine's Richard Corliss felt the movie fell short of expectations, he still heaped praise on Pitt's performance, saying, "Despite enough pummelling to flatten Rocky Balboa in all six movies, the only thing that truly rewards your attendance is Pitt in another effortless st...

The Bottom Line A tasty modern crime yarn with political overtones, Brad Pitt and an over-weaning sense of style. Venue Cannes Film Festival (in Competition) Opens September 21 (The Weinstein Company) Director Andrew Dominik Cast Brad Pitt, Scoot McNairy, Ben Mendelson, Richard Jenkins, James Gandolfini, Ray Liotta, Vincent Caratola, Slaine, Max Casella, A juicy, bloody, grimy and profane crime drama that amply satisfies as a deep-dish genre piece, Killing Them Softly rather insistently also wants to be something more. Writer-director Andrew Dominik, whose extraordinary Western The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford proved too long and arty for the masses, repositions George V. Higgins 1974 Boston mob-world novel as a metaphor for the ills of American capitalism circa 2008, a neatly provocative tact. But he also shamelessly shows off his directorial acumen; unlike the leading character, whos all business, Dominik makes sure you notice all his moves. Tight, absor...
