The trailer hits the ground running with a high-stakes card game, that gets robbed by two   amateur thieves (Scoot McNairy and Ben Mendelsohn). That’s when Hitman Jackie Cogan (Pitt) is called in to deal with the situation, and from what we can tell– If he’s called, it’s going to get ugly.

Men are roughed up. Cars crash. Tough-guy dialogue ensues.

“Have you ever killed anyone?” Pitt’s character asks. “They cry and they plead. They call for their mothers.”  He adds: “I like to kill them softly, from a distance.”

Killing Them Softly arrives in theaters Oct. 19. Watch the trailer below.
