About this product

Product Information

From the unexpectedly graphic opening shot, director Sidney Lumet proves he hasn't lost any of his bite with age. BEFORE THE DEVIL KNOWS YOU'RE DEAD is a riveting suspense thriller that retains the director's classic approach to storytelling while updating it at the same time. Working from an intense, expertly woven script by playwright-turned-screenwriter Kelly Masterson, Lumet establishes his tragic tone immediately. The story concerns a New York family with a roiling undercurrent of dysfunction. The eldest son, Andy (Philip Seymour Hoffman), is a frustrated, drug-abusing stockbroker who is unable to satisfy his gorgeous wife (Marisa Tomei). The youngest son, Hank (Ethan Hawke), is passive and struggles to make alimony payments. Their parents (Albert Finney and Rosemary Harris) live in Westchester and operate a small jewelry store. Their lives begin to unravel when Andy approaches Hank about pulling off a heist that will seemingly solve all of their monetary problems. Everything about this idea is risky, yet Andy convinces his timid younger brother that this is his only way out of his current situation. Naturally, their plan falls apart, resulting in a series of tragedies that they never could have predicted.BEFORE THE DEVIL KNOWS YOU'RE DEAD belongs beside such Lumet classics as DOG DAY AFTERNOON, NETWORK, and SERPICO. The cinematography and editing and score are all excellent, but the performances are what launch the film into the stratosphere. Oscar-winner Hoffman (CAPOTE) and Finney have never been better, and the rest of the cast--Hawke, Tomei, Michael Shannon--rise to the occasion with unforgettable results.

    Seller provided exactly what they said they would. USPS snail mail is too slow and high for a small part. Put it in an envelope. Much cheaper. Thanks to seller though. Very sturdy part.

    Fantastic packaging! The seller placed each disk in an envelope and then back inside the original DVD case. That's what I call a seller with integrity. It was exactly as described and arrived very quickly. Thank you so much for an excellent ebay experience. :)

  • Sydney Lumet Still Makes Good Movies at 83

    Before the Devil knows you're dead is a film that immediately forces you into the lives of the two brothers who are quite different, yet stick together until things go way too awry for Andy (Philip Seymour Huffman) who is now 42 and seems to be at the end of his rope on his finances and his drug habits and proposes a heist with his younger brother. Turns out that the Young Brother robs his own parents jewelry store and the mother gets shot. All hell brakes loose as we watch them all try and hide things from their father (Albert Finney), however the father discovers what Andy has done and chokes him to death in the hospital after being shot. This film is very heart wrenching and terrifically thrilling and chilling. You find yourself feeling sorry for Andy when he says "The ...

  • You must follow closely

    I watched this movie a couple of times before I really got into it..I thought it was really really good..The acting by Hawke and Hoffman are stellar..Then throw in the sexyness of Tomei as she pays a role that I never thought I d see her play...WOW she looks really hot in this film...The plan that brothers Hawke and Hoffman set up goes haywire and their mom is killed in a botched robbery at their family owned jewlery store.This movie is suspensful and has some real nice twists and turns..I definately had my interest.Only problem is that the ending is alittle weak and leaves you somewhat disappointed and confused..Otherwise I would recommend this film to anyone who wants to see a real good thriller.....Gooch

  • Weird Strange Get The Picture?

    Too bad there isn't a rating that says "ok??!!" this film was strange from the get go it's bad enough it's one of those damn flashback films, but the storyline was daft, the acting was great..the premise was ok..the title makes no sense! Film starts out with a old geezer and his "Wife" going at it like rabbits..while he watches himself in the mirror (can we say eeew)..here's the story two brothers one seemingly successful, the other a loser with a ex Wife and a Daughter he wont or maybe can't support..they are both hurting for money so the older brother talks his younger brother into pulling a robbery..he has chosen a mom and pop jewelry store the younger brother agrees then talks his friend into helping out..the friend is unware the store belongs to someone close to the two brothers..it's ...

  • Lumet does Tolstoy

    Sydney Lumet hasn't had a box office hit in 20 years and yet at 83 has managed to churn out a tight, well-cast, suspenseful thriller set in his old stamping ground, New York City. (How he got insurance, let alone the budget after all those flops, is a mystery also). The story is a pretty grim one and the characters are not particularly likable but it held me on the edge of my seat till the final scene. Two brothers with pressing financial problems conspire to rob a suburban jewelry store owned by their elderly parents. The only victim is going to be the insurance company. The robbery goes awry and two people die. Most of the film is concerned with the aftermath. The action is non-linear and seen from the main character's differing points of view, but it is not difficult to follow. What is ...
