Hit man Jackie Cogan (Brad Pitt) doesn’t care for the whining of his victims. “I like to kill them softly, from a distance, not close enough for feelings.” In this adaptation of George V. Higgins’ 1974 novel Cogan’s Trade, Jackie is South Boston’s supercool angel of death, meting out justice to some prime tough guys (James Gandolfini, Ray Liotta, Animal Kingdom’s Ben Mendelsohn). All are under the direction of Andrew Dominik, who raised Pitt’s indie cred with The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford.
