Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead Series: The 45th New York Film Festival [Sep 28 - Oct 14 2007] Director: Sidney Lumet, Country: USA, Release: 2007, Runtime: 117 At 83, Sidney Lumet has made one of his best films, a riveting drama of greed and blood ties, and a great New York crime story. Ethan Hawke and Philip Seymour Hoffman are two brothers — one down-and-out, the other living beyond his means — who conspire to rob a Westchester jewelry store. The foolproof plan goes horribly awry, igniting a series of violent and ironic twists of fate out of a Greek tragedy. As always, Lumet brings out the best in a stellar cast (including Marisa Tomei, Albert Finney and Rosemary Harris), while his crisp direction leaves many a younger filmmaker in the dust. A ThinkFilm release.
