Killing Them Softly Full Movie
Finally, the Killing Me Softly script is here for all you quotes spouting fans of the Heather Graham and Joseph Fiennes movie. This script is a transcript that was painstakingly transcribed using the screenplay and/or viewings of Killing Me Softly. Brutal, bitter and brilliant, Killing Them Softly is cynically noir on the surface and subversively, angrily patriotic beneath. Director and screenplay adaptor Andrew Dominik (The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford) balances the two levels expertly, and cinematographer Greig Fraser (Snow White and the Huntsman, Let Me In) makes unforgiving beauty out of desolate cityscapes. Things would appear to be business as usual when it comes to the 'what' of Killing Them Softly, but with Andrew Dominik behind the screenplay and the camera, the 'how' is what makes the film stand out. Aside from the game card heist bursting with tension, the film doesn't play by the rules of its alleged genre. Killing Them Softly, adapted from George V. Higgins's 1974 novel Cogan's Trade - a considerably better title - is set in an undisclosed city played by New Orleans, though from the onscreen evidence we can't narrow it to anything more specific than 'not Florida, New York, or Maryland', in which a small-time mobster, Johnny 'Squirrel' Amato. John Marcus McNairy (born November 11, 1977) known professionally as Scoot McNairy, is an American actor and producer known for his roles in films including Monsters, Argo, Killing Them Softly, 12 Years a Slave, Frank, Gone Girl, and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.
Jackie Cogan:
Don't make me laugh. We're one people. It's a myth created by Thomas Jefferson.
Driver:
Oh, now you're gonna have a go at Jefferson, huh?
Jackie Cogan:
My friend, Jefferson's an American saint because he wrote the words, 'All men are created equal.' Words he clearly didn't believe, since he allowed his own children to live in slavery. He was a rich wine snob who was sick of paying taxes to the Brits. So yeah, he wrote some lovely words and aroused the rabble, and they went out and died for those words, while he sat back and drank his wine and f***ed his slave girl. 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 f***ing pay me.
WARNING SPOILERS AHEAD.
