Master filmmaker Sidney Lumet
directs this absorbing
suspense thriller about a
family facing the worst enemy
of all -- itself. Oscar-winner
Philip Seymour Hoffman plays
Andy, an overextended broker
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
actual mom and pop and, when
the seemingly perfect crime
goes awry, the damage lands
right at their doorstep.
Oscar-winner Marisa Tomei
plays Hoffman's trophy wife,
who is having a clandestine
affair with Hawke, and the
stellar cast also includes
Albert Finney as the family
patriarch who pursues justice
at all costs, completely
unaware that the culprits he
is hunting are his own sons. A
classy, classic
heist-gone-wrong drama in the
tradition of 'The Killing' and
Lumet's own 'The Anderson
Tapes,' BEFORE THE DEVIL KNOW
YOU'RE DEAD is smart enough to
know that we often have the
most to fear from those who
are near and dear.
