Before the Devil Knows You're Dead

Drama Crime Thriller

2007, Movie, 1h 57min

Renowned director Sidney Lumet brought five decades of cinematic mastery to bear in his final film, a riveting thriller that achieves the weight of Greek tragedy. A typically virtuosic Philip Seymour Hoffman stars as Andy, an overextended payroll executive who lures his younger brother, Hank (Ethan Hawke), into a larcenous scheme: the pair will rob a suburban mom-and-pop jewelry store that appears to be the quintessential easy target. The problem is, the store owners are Andy and Hank’s real mom and pop, and when the seemingly perfect crime goes awry, the damage sends them hurtling toward a shattering clash that may obliterate their already precarious family.
