From the unexpectedly graphic opening shot, director Sidney Lumet proves he hasn't lost any of his bite with age. BEFORE THE DEVIL KNOWS YOU'RE DEAD is a riveting suspense thriller that retains the director's classic approach to storytelling while updating it at the same time. Working from an intense, expertly woven script by playwright-turned-screenwriter Kelly Masterson, Lumet establishes his tragic tone immediately. The story concerns a New York family with a roiling undercurrent of dysfunction.

The youngest son, Hank (Ethan Hawke), is passive and struggles to make alimony payments. Their parents (Albert Finney and Rosemary Harris) live in Westchester and operate a small jewelry store. Their lives begin to unravel when Andy approaches Hank about pulling off a heist that will seemingly solve all of their monetary problems. Everything about this idea is risk...

A Dysfunctional Family, Rough Sex, Marisa Tomeis Breasts Whats Not To Like?
Pros: Writing, casting, acting, cinematography. Cons: None. Bottom Line: This film is a gripping study of family dysfunction and criminal ineptitude. It is a stark portrayal of greed, addiction and resentment. An excellent piece of work. Read MoreMay you make a few more good movies... Before the Devil Knows You're Dead
Pros: Direction. Performances. Script. Cons: Climax might kill the impact? I don't know. Bottom Line: Top 10 of '07, and You've Never Heard of It...
Pros: great movie, different from any other movie in the past few years Cons: some people don't like the scene jumps, but they aren't confusing Bottom Line: Hey, we need some Money! But let's keep it in the family!
Pros: Novel story, a bad event that gets out of hand- Disturbing, Exciting, Inexorably Dreadful Cons: Not for the weak of heart. Nor the timid. Nor children of any age. Bottom Line: Phillip Seymour's Greatest Performance Yet
Pros: Gripping and cutting edge movie Cons: Distractions can prove costly Bottom Line: Outstanding script and performances! Sadly overlooked film.

Pros: very involved plot, not what you might expect Cons: has limited audience appeal, talented actors but little chemistry Bottom Line: Before the Devil Knows You're Dead - Selfishness and Betrayal. Nipples and Buttocks.
Pros: Well written, outstanding performances from Hoffman and Hawke Cons: That first scene is a doozy, unoriginal premise Bottom Line: |
