Ray Liotta, Beatdown: First Clip from Andrew Dominik's 'Killing Them Softly'Ray Liotta, Beatdown: First Clip from Andrew Dominik's 'Killing Them Softly'

Killing Them Softly is set to premiere at the Cannes Film Festival, that annual cinematic extravaganza on the French Riviera.  In advance of the premiere, today we have the very first clip from the new feature by director Andrew Dominik, the man behind the excellent Chopper and The Assassination of Jesse James By the Coward Robert Ford.

The clip is very brief, but is nonetheless impressive and gives a sense of what Dominik's doing with the crime-saga source material.  It plays in one shot as a thoroughly annoyed Sam Shepard pays a visit to a perplexed Ray Liotta, who continues to be perplexed even as he's tossed about like a ragdoll.  The way the camera captures what's happening is impressive and really pretty funny, but it's also slow and deliberate enough not to be show-offy.

This little bit of business debuted at the official Cannes Festival site, but the embed below is courtesy of the good folks at The Playlist.

For context, Killing Them Softly is adapted from the novel Cogan's Trade by George V. Higgins.  The story follows Jackie Cogan, a professional enforcer, who is tasked with investigating a heist that bamboozled the mafia during a high stakes poker game that was meant to be protected.  Since Cogan's an enforcer, you can imagine what he's meant to do when he finds the responsible parties.

Brad Pitt reunites with his Jesse James director here, starring as Cogan.  The supporting casts includes Sam Shepard, Ray Liotta, and Slaine, all of whom you see above, as well as Garret Dillahunt, Richard Jenkins, Max Casella, James Gandolfini, Ben Mendelsohn, and Linara Washington.
