Synopsis: Three dumb guys who think they're smart rob a Mob protected card game, causing the local criminal economy to collapse. Brad Pitt plays the enforcer, hired to track them down and restore order.
Review: The originality of the movie and its only interesting thing is the parallelism of the story with the news on TV about the US president election. This reminds me a bit Good night, and good luck, by George Clooney. The idea is not bad, but the realisation is not. The movie tries sometime to make like Tarentino or Guy Ritchie, but misses everytime the right moments, rythms, etc. The story is not interesting. The story is cut for the role of Brad Pitt, but not to catch the viewer. The one very good scene is the last one, at a bar, where the contract killer played by Brad Pitt explains his customer that all the speeches about equality, about solidarity are bullshit, and comments "This guy wants to tell me we're living in a community? Don't make me laugh. I'm living in America, and in America you're on your own. America's not a country. It's just a business. Now fuckin' pay me. ".
