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.
One bad idea can unravel and ruin lives in unimaginably horrific ways.
That's the concept underlying the riveting Before the Devil Knows You're Dead, a sharply acted and highly entertaining morality play.
Philip Seymour Hoffman is excellent as an ethically challenged executive of a real estate company. He's in a strained relationship with his wife, played by Marisa Tomei. Ethan Hawke plays his younger brother, a lost soul. He's sorely in need of money for child support, and his ex-wife (Amy Ryan) dismisses him as a loser. Hoffman comes up with what he sells as the perfect crime: No one gets hurt, and both brothers get rich.

Disappointing
Don't be duped by the excellent reviews. This film is a bit of a stinker. If you like classy thrillers like Out of Sight or Seven then avoid this - you will be disappointed.
Few contemporary American directors have plumbed the problem of morality quite like Sidney Lumet. Then again, few American directors have been contemporary for as long as he has. Lumet is 83, and his career has spanned half a century and more than 40 movies -- not all of them good, obviously. But the good ones are great. The director is never more energized or interesting than when he squeezes his all-too-human characters into vise-tight spots of their own construction, then watches as the unforeseen, unintended consequences bloom. If any director will make you think twice about not thinking through a life-changing decision, it's Lumet.
In Before The Devil Knows You're Dead, veteran director Sidney Lumet's first feature film to get a UK release since 1999's Gloria (we didn't get his previous film, 2006's Find Me Guilty), the protagonists, brothers Andy (Hoffman) and Hank (Hawke), are selfish, self-pitying, self-serving idiots.
Hank is presented as uncertain, put-upon and bullied by his brother and their father, Charles (Finney), and the fact that he agrees to go along with Andy's plan makes him despicable. The very notion of brothers robbing their own parents' small business precludes them from either sympathy or empathy.

This movie is a bit slow, but the story is a great one. The acting is superb. This movie captures how greed and drugs can destroy you. Definitely worth a watch 3/5.
The acting was decent, the script was ok..but overall..it could neve be anything more than an "ok" movie.
There was nothing special about it. Nothing that makes u wanna watch it again or even more so..Recommend it to anyone. It's a "time-passer" for those boring days when u have an hour or 2 to kill..
yes this is a watch once only movie, but its a good one. this is a crime/drama, not a rambo-or goodfellas. i seen this on big screen first and couldnt go take a pee because i didnt want to miss the story. the violence i thought look realistic, the story was believable, you wont get the warm fuzzies watching this.. it sorta creeps you out if you get into the plot. the acting was great. the people who rated this low, werent into watching acting, they wanted to be entertained with non-stop action, or something.. this is an adult movie with an adult plot..
A very well written story, with some impressive acting by Philip Seymour Hoffman, Ethan Hawke and Albert Finney.. This is a very adult movie with complex themes, it has some action but mostly makes you think.. This movie shows that people will do horrible things for money and power.. 4/5..
Despite some negative reviews, I thought it was a very good movie - great actors and acting - it moves around but so do many movies today - it keeps one wondering what else is happening in the story and just how it might end - 4/5
soo freakin boring!! i stopped watching it halfway into the movie coz i couldnt take it anymore. i was really in to it at first but they kept going back and forth thru the storyline. so slow.. i wont watch it again.. i didnt even finish it the first time. 5/10
To my mind this was an excellent movie. Don't watch it if you really want to veg out. You've got to pay some attention.
This is not fast action. It's a little slow and dark, but not to the point of being noir. Anyway the plot, the scenes, acting, etc, all done very well. I rate this 7.5 or 8 out of 10.
