Review of Before the Devil Knows You're Dead (2007) by Brett H — 11 Feb 2013
Did I just not get it? I thought this was the biggest downer/ predictable piece of crap I've seen in a long time. Someone said this was supposed to be a satire? The fuck you supposed to be laughin about? Okay, I smiled a couple of times and Marisa Tomei's got a great rack with perfectly proportioned nipples.
Anywhoo, after the first couple of editing rip offs from Reservoir Dogs, I guessed every goddamn plotpoint that followed. I only stayed in the friggin theater in hopes that my predictions would be false.
Tough shit. What the fuck was up with those transitions? It felt like I was watching a student film, and that is the worst possible feeling to have when you got some of the best actors on the screen. I'll give the movie credit for its acting.
Everyone was believable, but just because I bought the performances didn't mean you sold me your crapalicious story. Lumet, you've lost your touch. Just stop it.
