Review of Before the Devil Knows You're Dead (2007) by Sue S — 08 Apr 2011
Familes are always rising and falling in america. sidney lumet takes the viewer down the viscious spiral of what can happen to a family when its members, out of greed, turn to crime. during the fall its focal characters hit some very large branches on the way to down, to utter destruction.
what is revealed is that human weakness runs rampant; alcoholism, drug abuse, infidelity, financial disorganization, incompetence. PSH, ethan hawke and the fully nude marissa tomei turn in gritty performances.
~rest in peace Sidney Lumet.
