Lots of new films on Amazon Prime Video:
In addition to "Killing Them Softly" with Brad Pitt and the gangster satire "Spring Breakers" by Harmony Korine, fans of horror and science fiction films in particular will get their money's worth.
One could almost think that it would be a new month: In the last few days, a lot of films worth seeing have started in the Amazon Prime Video subscription, which we would like to recommend to you. The clear highlight is the bitterly angry contract killer thriller "Killing Them Softly" with Brad Pitt, closely followed by the crazy neon gangster satire "Spring Breakers". But that's not all, science fiction and horror fans in particular can look forward to plenty of supplies.

In "Killing Them Softly" two small-time crooks rob a poker tournament and escape with the prize money. But then the contract killers Cogan (Brad Pitt) and New York Mickey (James Gandolfini) are assigned to them and the situation escalates. Staged by Andrew Dominik ("Blonde"), this mix of gangster thriller and resounding social criticism is genre cinema of the highest artistic perfection.

"Spring Breakers" comes from scandal director Harmony Korine ("Gummo") and is therefore, despite the (former) Disney stars Selena Gomez and Vanessa Hudgens, not a shallow party comedy, but a loud, bulky, weird, crazy gangster satire in the garish neon look.
