Take a look at the two Hollywood films which will hit the screens in India on October 5, 2012. (A still from the movie 'Killing Them Softly')
'Killing Them Softly' is based on a novel 'Cogan's Trade' by George V Higgins.
Brad Pitt, Scoot McNairy, Ben Mendelsohn, Richard Jenkins, James Gandolfini, Ray Liotta and Sam Shepard play important roles in this crime drama.
'Killing Them Softly' has been written and directed by Andrew Dominik.
Brad Pitt was last seen in Oscar nominated film 'Moneyball'. His fans are really looking forward to the film.
In the movie, Pitt plays a ruthless hitman Jackie Cogan, brought in by a syndicate of mafia bosses to eliminate a group of thieves who raid a high-stakes poker game.
'Killing Them Softly' takes place in an unspecified US city which has borne the brunt of the financial collapse.
The title derives from his insistence on avoiding unnecessary pain and suffering when he carries out his killings.
The film was also screened at the Cannes Film Festival this year and earned positive reviews.
The film has been produced by Brad Pitt, Dede Gardner, Steve Schwartz, Paula Mae Schwartz and Anthony Katagas.
Another Hollywood film that will hit the screens this week is 'The Possession'.
'The Possession' is a super natural thriller, said to be inspired by a true incident.
'The Possession' has been directed by Ole Bornedal.
Natasha Calis, Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Kyra Sedgwick play the lead roles in the film.
Anton Sanko has composed the music of the film.
The movie is said to be based on the allegedly haunted dybbuk box.
A crime drama or a super natural thriller, what's your pick this week.
