Review of Before the Devil Knows You're Dead (2007) by Carl S — 08 Jan 2010

Before the Devil Knows You're Dead. The italian title "(honour your father and your mother" from the 10 precept) doesn't really give the idea of the dramaticity of this movie. The situation of the story get much more intricated any moment, thanks to a superb use of the flashbacks, that show the same moments from the different point of view of all the characters, their feelings, their quality and their lacks. Both P. Seymour Hoffman and Ethan Hawke are superb. The first seems, as always, feeling and emotionless, the second one, at the opposite, has been capable of show the feelings of his character in a perfect way.

Although I have to admit that what wrote the user before me that any movie (or any moment maybe it's better) that P.S. Hoffman gets naked in seems to be depressing :D.
