Many reviewers at Cannes have surmised that the movie takes a critical view of Obama&#39;s administration, and shows his reign as US president as being one of empty promises. <img alt="" src="/imagedata/2012/may/brad_2.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 702px; " /> Brad Pitt. Pic/AFP &quot;Only part of that is true. The movie sets Obama&#39;s 2008 Democratic National Convention speech against a landscape of greed and violence but this wasn&#39;t an attempt to criticize Obama, but rather the footage was used as a real expression of hope,&quot; Pitt said. The film&#39;s director, Andrew Dominick, said that the gangster movie was critical of capitalism, rather than the US government specifically. &quot;I always feel that crime films are about capitalism, because it is a genre where it is perfectly acceptable for all the characters to be motivated by a desire for money. In some ways, the crime film is the most honest American film because it portrays Americans as I experience a lot of them, in Hollywood, as being very concerned with money,&quot; Dominick said.

Hollywood star Brad Pitt says his latest film "Killing Them Softly" is not anti US President Barack Obama.
