The background of the film is set in 2008 when the financial crisis broke out. Gangs are also Americans. In such a situation, how can Obama, who is busy with the presidential campaign, realize his "American promise". The film has an extremely stylized but straight-to-political beginning. The white noise on the radio and the production information on the shady screen appear alternately. The occasionally adjusted voice is clear and "live broadcast" Obama at the Democratic Party Conference in Denver on August 28, 2008. Here’s famous nominated speech-"U.S. Commitment": "What is the U.S. commitment? It allows each of us to live the life we want freely, but we also have the responsibility to protect the dignity of others." The first black president to win vowed to bring the American promise and American dream back to the American people.
The white noise continued, leading the scene to the dilapidated town after the main creative message was over. For director Dominic, such promises and American dreams are pale and empty. "Gentle Killing" is adapted from the 1974 novel "The Cogan's Deal". The movie made the deal happen from August 28, 2008 to January 20, 2009, starting from Obama’s nomination speech. By the end of the black president’s inaugural speech, the news was full of economic crises, and the story was an internal execution task that was not too difficult but was entangled in remuneration. There is no doubt that Dominic's ambitions are directed at political criticism, and he has produced a rare "political/financial gangster movie."
If you look forward to a thrilling escape and hunt, then you will be disappointed, the whole story is not suspenseful at all. Speaking of horror, it is just a violent scene and completely lyrical Music Video. The plot direction is by no means alarming. Russell, who was unkempt in the "American Promise" broadcast, had an appointment with Frankie, who was also sloppy, and ran to Johnny, the laundromat owner, to receive an errand that had a good salary of $30,000 but caused a disaster. This errand sounds good. He robbed the casino owner Martie. This guy asked his friend to act as a gangster. He ransacked a savvy customer and called the thief to catch the thief. He made a comeback after going out of business for a period of time. This story of guarding and stealing makes people think of Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley? If similar things happen again, Martie is determined to be the number one suspect. The big guys behind the scenes didn't bother to care about who did it. As long as the loss is recovered, there is no harm in killing a thousand by mistake. This is a business. Jackie Cogan, a bounty hunter played by Brad Pitt, was in the middleman's car, accompanied by another presidential candidate McCain's speech on solving the financial crisis, and almost settled the debt collection and liquidation business. . Direct a rather clever intertextual black humor. As for how to determine the robber, the suspenseful process, it is not important at all for the theme of the movie, and it is only explained in a few words in the car.
Jackie Cogan and the casino owner Martie are still friends, and killing acquaintances is not something Jackie likes to do. If you really have to do it, it’s better to be farther away. Use a high-fire pistol to kill them. The so-called "Killing them" softly). In addition to cleaning up other related scourges, although this business is not difficult to operate, it is also a setback for Jackie. The "gun substitute" Mickey who was originally looking for actually eats, drinks and gambles in the hotel. Such a state is not suitable for a mission. And the innocent poor Martie was not treated tenderly before being "gently killed." He was dragged off the car by a customer who had been lost in the casino and was dying. Beating Martie and killing Martie, Dominic can do enough stylistic kung fu. The real and bloody level of violence in the first part is jaw-dropping, but the latter part uses a romantic slow motion upgrade and "bullet time" borrowed from "The Matrix" with Gershwin. The famous jazz song "Life Is Just A Bowl Of Cherries" (Life Is Just A Bowl Of Cherries), "You work, you save, you worry, but you can't take away a dime when you finally die."
Whether it is gangsters, politicians or financial The big names continue to be busy dancing with money. At the end of the movie, Jackie, who successfully completed the task, went to the bar to find the middleman to check out. He didn't negotiate the number before, and went back and forth in the TV voice of Obama's inauguration. Brad. Pete’s unruly handsome face spit out a sentence that made the movie come to an abrupt end: "America is not a country, America is a business, now pay me the money. Give me the money). "
