Markie Trattman (Ray Liotta) is the proprietor of a criminal poker ring operating in an unspecified Boston neighborhood. He decides to orchestrate an inside job by paying two men to rob his poker room; although he later openly admits his involvement to various criminal figures, he suffers no retaliation. In the fall of 2008, amidst the American financial crisis, a man named Johnny "Squirrel" Amato (Vincent Curatola) plans to rob Markie's next poker game, anticipating the mafia will blame Markie for the heist. He enlists Frankie (Scoot McNairy), a former business associate, and Russell (Ben Mendelsohn), an unstable heroin addict, to perform the robbery. Upon completing the crime, Russell travels to Florida.
Trailer:
Driver (Richard Jenkins), an emissary for the mafia, converses with a hitman named Jackie Cogan (Brad Pitt). Although Jackie understands Markie was uninvolved in the aforementioned heist, he believes Markie should be murdered in order to restore confidence amongst the local mobsters. While in Florida, Russell inadvertently informs a man named Kenny Gill (Slaine) of his involvement in the heist. Kenny informs Jackie, who implicates Russell, Frankie, and Squirrel as the true perpetrators. After murdering Markie, Jackie meets with Mickey Fallon (James Gandolfini), another professional hitman, to prepare for the assassinations of Russell, Frankie, and Squirrel. Jackie becomes frustrated with Mickey's flagrant lechery and alcoholism, and convinces Driver to arrange Mickey's arrest. Russell is arrested on a drug possession charge; meanwhile, Jackie confronts Frankie and agrees to spare him his life, on the condition he reveal Squirrel's whereabouts. Jackie murders Squirrel before murdering Frankie; he then meets with Driver to collect his fee on the night of the American presidential election. Driver refuses to pay Jackie in full, and Jackie demands his payment as the film ends. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_Them_Softly)

While investigating the wife of New York City's mayor, an ex-cop finds himself in the middle of a larger scandal.
Trailer:
Billy Taggart (Mark Wahlberg) has a promising career as a New York City cop until the night he is involved in a controversial shooting. Stripped of his badge, but kept out of jail by New York's popular Mayor (Russell Crowe), he re-makes himself as a private investigator. Times are tough, and when the mayor offers Billy $50,000 to investigate the First Lady's (Catherine Zeta Jones) extra-marital activities, it seems like a straight forward payday. Unfortunately, it quickly becomes apparent that the Mayor is not at all what he seems, and for Billy to achieve redemption he will have to risk everything -- possibly even his freedom.
