Review of Before the Devil Knows You're Dead (2007) by Philip S — 30 May 2013
Disappointing. I had been looking forward to this film since I had heard such good things, but now I can't imagine what the fuss is about. This is one of those indie films that seems to have been made simply because some decent actors signed on for scale - and despite a very flawed script.
Frankly, the story feels like it was penned by adolescents, looking to show how things can go from bad to worse and finally pushing the characters over the edge until there is nothing left to do but blast their way out.
But, sadly, this is not Reservoir Dogs or Fargo. Not even close. It's just good actors in a predictable, goofy student film. What a waste.
