The more buzz a movie gets, the more people go to see it. When you see a couple shots in a row that you have preferred to see first in the full feature, that’s the goal of buzz.

An international trailer for writer/director Andrew Dominik‘s hard-boiled crime tale Killing Them Softly is short to the point.

Brad Pitt, who stars as hitman Jackie Cogan, recently discussed how Dominik chose to approach the film:

Well, what Andrew wanted to do with this film was interesting: He wanted to talk about America—and America as a business—but he wanted to hide it within this low-end crime drama. We in America have some grand ideals—and some very strong ideals—but a lot of times, those ideals are used for marketing.

The tough, tight crime thriller also stars Richard Jenkins, James Gandolfini, Ray Liotta, Scoot McNairy, and Ben Mendelsohn.

A deep-dish genre piece, Killing Them Softly opens November 30th, 2012.
