When rival crook Johnny Amato (Vincent Curatola) hatches a plan to rob a card game run by mob lackey Markie (Ray Liotta), he picks a low-rent thug named Frankie (Scoot McNairy) to do the job.

Killing Them Softly is based on the 1974 novel Cogan's Trade by George V. Higgins. Cogan's Trade, like Higgins' other novels, takes place in Boston; although filmed in the New Orleans area, characters in Killing Them Softly make several references to Boston area suburbs from the original novel.

A slow-burning, understated stunner. A small, but multi-stranded drama that invites comparisons with Goodfellas or TV's The Wire in its audaciousness. A bit heavy on the politics and a little shallow in its character development, Killing Them Softly is still a profoundly watchable crime film.

The film ends with Alice's voice over recollecting the events in posterity and wondering what might have happened had fate not led her to Adam one morning. She wonders if the passion between them could ever have lasted, and that a girl born in the flatlands could never have survived at 20,000 feet anyway.
