Five things to do in Edinburgh tomorrow

1 FILM: KILLING THEM SOFTLY (18)

Gripping, four-star action movie with a top-line cast. Low-level crook Johnny Amato (Vincent Curatola) learns that mob man Markie Trattman (Ray Liotta) staged a robbery at one of his own card games in order to steal the pot. So Amato hatches a cunning plan to rob another card game and point the finger of suspicion squarely at Markie. He hires Frankie (Scoot McNairy) to pull off the heist, and he in turn foolishly recruits unreliable junkie Russell (Ben Mendelsohn) as a second gun man. Against the odds, Frankie and Russell manage to hold up the game card and they make off with the booty. Mob go-between Driver (Richard Jenkins) calls in hit man Jackie Cogan (Brad Pitt) to identify the perpetrators and make them pay. Naturally, Markie is the prime suspect for the robbery but Jackie likes to be thorough and he searches for other likely candidates, hiring another assassin, Mickey (James Gandolfini), to do the dirty work. When Russell spills the beans about who really knocked off the card game, Jackie swiftly moves into action.
