Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead

Two New York brothers think they have found a sure way to solve their financial problems with a simple robbery. But crimes are never simple and after the act is done, the two are confronted with an emotional abyss made up of sorrow and regret. Sydney Lumet presents a brave film with his characteristic flexible cinematic style and psychological depth. The result owes its success not only to the fluid cinematic language, but to a deep exploration of his hero’s motives.
