Before the Devil Knows You're Dead

No one was supposed to get hurt.

The Screen Door: "One of the five best films of the year. Brutal, bracing and biting all around with exultant direction from Lumet, boiling performances by Ethan Hawke, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Marissa Tomei and AlbertFinney. It’s a crime thriller that turns the audience on their head. As we left the theater the other night NO ONE was up out of their seats three-minutes into the credit roll just because they could not believe how it ended." Rating: A

Roger Ebert: "Sidney Lumet's "Before the Devil Knows You're Dead" is such a superb crime melodrama that I almost want to leave it at that. To just stop writing right now and advise you to go out and see it as soon as you can. I so much want to avoid revealing plot points that I don't even want to risk my usual strategy of oblique hints. You deserve to walk into this one cold."

IMDb: "When two brothers organize the robbery of their parents' jewelery store the job goes horribly wrong, triggering a series of events that sends them, their father and one brother's wife hurtling towards a shattering climax. "
