This week, we discuss two neo-noir films about the world of organised crime.
The first is The Outfit (1973), starring Robert Duvall as a version of Donald E. Westlake’s “Parker” character, first played by Lee Marvin in Point Blank (1967).
The second is Killing Them Softly (2012), a film written and directed by Andrew Dominik and starring Brad Pitt. It is based on George V. Higgins' 1974 novel Cogan's Trade.
