SYNOPSIS __________
Plot:
Master filmmaker Sidney Lumet directs this absorbing suspense
thriller about a family facing the worst enemy of all - itself.
Oscar-winner Philip Seymour Hoffman plays Andy, an overextended
broker who lures his younger brother, Hank (Ethan Hawke) into
a larcenous scheme: the pair will rob a suburban mom-and-pop
jewelry store that appears to be the quintessential easy target.
The problem is, the store owners are Andy and Hank's actual
mom and pop and, when the seemingly perfect crime goes awry,
the damage lands right at their doorstep. Oscar-winner Marisa
Tomei plays Hoffman's trophy wife, who is having a clandestine
affair with Hawke, and the stellar cast also includes Albert
Finney as the family patriarch who pursues justice at all
costs, completely unaware that the culprits he is hunting
are his own sons.
A classy, classic heist-gone-wrong drama in the tradition
of "The Killing" and Lumet's own "The Anderson
Tapes," BEFORE THE DEVIL KNOW YOU'RE DEAD is smart enough
to know that we often have the most to fear from those who
are near and dear.
