Capsule review
A criminal (Vincent
Curatola) hires two simpleminded thugs (Scoot
McNairy and Ben Mendelsohn) to rob a rival’s card
game. They succeed at first but, this being a movie,
things eventually go wrong. Ray Liotta and Brad Pitt
play two of the rivals, who aim to get their money
back. Uh-oh. Andrew Dominik (The Assassination
of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford) directs.
Rated R. 97 minutes.
