Plot Story : Philip Seymour Hoffman, Ethan Hawke, Albert Finney, and Marisa Tomei star in director Sidney Lumet's thriller concerning two brothers who hatch a plan to rob their parent's jewelry store. When the job goes awry, the entire family is set on a collision course with tragedy. Andy (Hoffman) is an overextended broker in desperate need of some cash. His brother, Hank (Hawke), isn't much better off, so when Andy hatches a plan to rob their parent's modest jewelry store, it seems like a foolproof way to make a quick buck. But Andy's trophy wife, Gina (Tomei), is secretly sleeping with libidinous younger brother Hank, and when the robbery proves a complete disaster it isn't long before loyalties start to shift. Now Andy and Hank's father, Charles (Finney), is determined to make the unidentified robbers pay for their crime. What's a father to do when he discovers that the ones he loves have become his worst enemies? ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Review For Movie Before the Devil Knows You're Dead
The movie's title comes from the Irish toast, 'May you be in Heaven half an hour before the Devil knows you're dead.' Unfortunately, everyone in the film is running about 35 minutes late.Christopher Orr-The New Republic
Superior fare, packed with insight and suspense.
Geoff Andrew-Time Out
As the Shadow used to say, the weed of crime bears bitter fruit, and Lumet has made a delicious pie out of it.
Jonathan F. Richards-Film.com
You feel Before the Devil Knows You're Dead more than you watch it. And the feeling is far from warm and fuzzy.
Chris Vognar-Dallas Morning News
At a time when family movies are usurped by fantasies of sentimental feelgood, Lumet's latest -- the mangled-heist melodrama Before the Devil Knows You're Dead -- delivers a swift kick straight to the jewels.
Geoff Pevere-Toronto Star
The problem is not that the director is working but that his latest film is working too hard. Way too hard â" this thing is melodrama running a marathon.
Rick Groen-Globe and Mail
( ... ) so perversely fun that a few false notes-a pushy score and certain moments that veer toward a cheaper kind of melodrama-don't nag as much as they might have.
Jon Frosch-The Stranger (Seattle, WA)
Before the Devil Knows You're Dead is an immensely disturbing and tragic morality tale, which focuses on the consequences and repercussions of a sinister act driven by greed.
Matthew Pejkovic-Matt's Movie Reviews
Ferociously pleasurable
Fernando F. Croce-CinePassion
Suspense and action would be enough to seal this film, but the feeling of dread, that under different circumstances this could be us, makes this a heist picture for the ages.
Jordan Hoffman-UGO
Lumet proves he's still a master storyteller, and Philip Seymour Hoffman is fantastic.
Mike Scott-Times-Picayune
No matter how irredeemable and pathetic the behavior of their characters might be, Hoffman and Hawke evoke a squirming recognition and empathy.
Peter Keough-Boston Phoenix
Lumet is still one of the best directors in the business.
Chris Bumbray-JoBlo's Movie Emporium
Lumet's latest film, Before the Devil Knows You're Dead is an unpleasant film with unpleasant characters. It would be easy to dismiss, if it weren't directed by maestro Sidney Lumet. But the movie is labored and repetitive.
Tony Macklin-Fayetteville Free Weekly
Sometimes it feels like too much, but then again, Before the Devil Knows You're Dead is an exercise in piling it on, with each plot twist all but guaranteeing the absolute damnation of its struggling characters,
James Kendrick-Q Network Film Desk
My biggest problem with this movie is that underneath all the style and film tricks, I really didn't like or care what happened to any of these characters.
Scott Nash-Three Movie Buffs
This is one of the most gut-wrenching thrillers in recent memory, and it features a real sucker-punch ending.
Jeff Vice-Deseret News, Salt Lake City
Si William Shakespeare viviera y fuera guionista, el resultado podría ser algo bastante parecido a esto.
Enrique Buchichio-Uruguay Total
this somber reflection on crime is as much a breath of fresh air as any premier feature at a film festival.
Sean Gandert-Paste Magazine
Traz o peso de tragédia grega que Woody Allen buscou com sucesso apenas moderado em O Sonho de Cassandra.
Pablo Villaca-Cinema em Cena
Director Sidney Lumet digs deep into the tawdry souls, peeling back the layers of arrogance and anger and self-delusion until all that's left is fury and fear and hate.
Sean Axmaker-MSN.com
Before the Devil Knows You're Dead won't do much for anyone's feelings about human nature, but it will definitely restore your faith in gritty crime movies.
Alonso Duralde-MSNBC
This would be a vigorous film for a man of any age, but it's a special treat from our favorite octogenarian.
Peter Canavese-Groucho Reviews
Marisa's bored and frustrated sexpot trophy wife is pretty much kept around in the movie just for occasional guy sexual satisfaction, in Sid Lumet's human cesspool of murky madness.
Prairie Miller-NewsBlaze
This masterfully-crafted, multi-layered murder mystery proves that the legendary Sidney Lumet hasn't lost his edge, despite being well into his eighties.
Kam Williams-NewsBlaze
