Killing Them Softly Poster Review

This is the poster for the film Killing Them Softly:

• Again white bold writing on the black background following all the conventions of crime posters.
• Brad Pitt is clearly the main selling point as he is the only character on the poster and his name is above the others by the film title.
• No film release date for the film.
• the gun indicates the film genre.
• Names of the other actors underneath the character.
• Cannes film festival award recognition on the film poster which could indicate to the audience how good the film is. Cannes is a globally recognised film festival.
