Again a movie. Again a good movie. A blast. Philip Seymour Hoffman is one of the best actors in Hollywood, I think I liked Ethan Hawke in all of his movies (I’ve seen so far) … the whole ensemble is chosen well. Before the devil knows you’re dead shows acting on a very, very high level. And it’s not boring (what some movies tend to be if somebody says the acting is great).

It’s the story of a family, told around a robbery that goes completely wrong. Sidney Lumet shows those kids in Hollywood how to make a good drama. 9 out of 10 points.

Once again they really messed up the german translation of the title … a friend said, all movies that start with “tödlich” (deadly) lets him think of a movie with Steven Seagal … there’s nothing to add.
