Before the Devil Knows You're Dead Reviews

This movie has an amazing cast that works wonderfully together. The emotions and feeling the characters have towards one another really shine through in the performances. This acting is needed to pull off the emotionaly roller coaster ride that the story takes you on during the film.

The movie revolves around two brothers (Hoffman and Hawke) that are are having money problems. They come up with an idea getting easy money. The idea revolves around stealing money from a small jewelry store. Great idea but of course everything doesn't go according to the plan.

Once their problems start, they keep growing larger and larger like a snowball rolling downhill. This keeps you in suspense as you want to see what will happen to these two. Sydney Lumet is a master film maker and this one is definantely worth watching. You will think your watching a film from a fresh new director that is experimenting with new ideas. Instead you are watching a wiley old veteran that is beautifully crafting a marvelous film.

Note: This is an adult film. The children shouldn't be watching it with you unless they are older. It contains nudity, sex, and hard core drug useage.
