Review of Before the Devil Knows You're Dead (2007) by Victoria G — 16 Oct 2009
The least thing Sidney Lumet's last film is, is original. The premise of the film, the name of the director behind the project and an attractive cast were meant to raise expectations, but the ambitious and stylish first 30 minutes, not mentioning the delicious opening of the film, were immediately drown into the pretentiousness of the rest of the it despite Seymour Hoffman being as impressive as he normally is. Tries too hard to be original and outstanding, and the result is a decent crime film to watch.
65/100.
