Brad Pitt, who has also been the face of Chanel's No. 5 this season, will be starring in his latest film, "Killing Them Softly," which will be released nationwide at Toho Cinemas Miyukiza and other theaters on Friday, April 26, 2013. It will be released in the U.S. on November 30. The film was shown at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival and received rave reviews from film critics around the world. Brad Pitt breaks new ground in his role as a cool, sexy hitman whose motto is "kill with kindness." Another highlight is the cast, including Richard Jenkins, James Gandolfini, Ray Liotta, and Sam Shepard, who each portray a different kind of villain.

Directed by Andrew Dominik, who teams up with the director again following his Academy Award-nominated film, The Assassination of Jesse James by J.J. While portraying the men of the underworld with a lot of flair, the film succeeds in accurately, stylishly, and mercilessly exposing the dark side of modern American society as it lurches into economic crisis.

Assassin Jackie Cogan (Brad Pitt) receives a request from an agent known as "The Driver" (Richard Jenkins) to capture the mastermind behind a gambling hall robbery and torture him into a confession. He first hires a man to track down Markie (Ray Liotta), who has a criminal record, but it turns out that the robbery was actually masterminded by a trio of villains. As a complex web of money-hungry gangsters, shadowy figures lurking behind the agent, and the motives and betrayals of his fellow gang members begin to unfold, Jackie decides to kill them all gently and swiftly.
