Review of Before the Devil Knows You're Dead (2007) by Kirk L — 21 Aug 2009
The Devil is in the details and he was well paid on this film.
Layer upon layer of nuances that are a delight to catch.Sidney Lumet's direction.
was nearly perfect for this film.Notable are the actors.
Philip Seymour Hoffman the smooth, affable and well groomed executive.
He Hides all his secrets well.
Amy Ryan and her bitterness toward Ethan Hawke's character.
is so papable I cringed with every look and sneer from her.
Albert Finney's performance was so real my heart broke with every scene.
The list goes on, like I said the details are abundant and give this.
Film a full and seamless journey.
