Synopsis:
Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead is a 2007 film written by Kelly Masterson and directed by Sidney Lumet. It stars Philip Seymour Hoffman, Ethan Hawke, Marisa Tomei, and Albert Finney. The title comes from the Irish saying: “May you be in heaven a full half hour before the devil knows you’re dead.”
The film goes back and forth in time many times, often showing scenes repeatedly, from various points of view.

I already loved Philip Seymour Hoffman before seeing this film, and now, though he was high on my list of favorite actors, he is now in the top five. This movie is an amazing portrayal of what someone will go through to get out of financial trouble. Seeing as the director, Sidney Lumet, is 84 years old, it makes sense that he has some life experience. He takes you through difficult, deep family troubles and reveals the honest condition of the human heart. An excellent movie for your weekend enjoyment.
