Before the Devil Knows You're Dead
A tense and riveting thriller from master helmer Sidney Lumet ('Dog Day Afternoon'). Philip Seymour Hoffman stars alongside Ethan Hawke as two brothers who embark on a robbery that is doomed from the beginning. Albert Finney co-stars in a taut crime caper that marks a real return to form for Lumet, proving he hasn't lost his edge despite being in his 80s! A tight, relentless script and stand-out performances make for a multi-layered study of human nature that's a real nail-biter.
