before the devil knows your dead

Queintin Tarantino once said he would not make a film past 60 becasue no director does their best work that late in life. Well Sidney Lumet who directed this near perfect film was 83 when he directed it. I am not going to say squat about this film, if any one does read this someday, and decides to watch this movie I want everything to unfold for you. It is one of those movies that is like a roller coster ride, and is best when you don't know what is coming around the bend. This is the second movie I have reviewed this week that has Philip Seymour hoffman, and he is at his best. The casting in general which includes, Marisa Tomei, Ethan Hawke, and Albert Finney are all played wonderfully. The way the story unfolds is remarkable, the plot exceptional. There is not a single thing I did not love about this movie. If I do find any followers, and they watch please comment on what you thought, I think this is one of the best movies I have ever seen.
