What an extraordinary crime thriller! The acting is absolutely brilliant all-around. Hoffman was at his very best and some of his scenes with Hawke were positively electric. I loved the movie. | | | | Reply | | |

This is a movie about a depressed, self-indulgent loser who drags everyone around him down with him. It was a disgusting story to me. | | | | Reply | | |

Fantastic cast, good and suspenseful crime drama. Totally different story line, but film noir for modern times. | | | | Reply | | |

"Before the Devil Knows You're Dead" is shocker of a film. The ending is particularly shocking. The plot is simple, and the characters are ordinary. | | | | Reply | | |

Cheap and unnecessary frontal nudity shots but the acting was great. Story very hard to handle at times. | | | | Reply | | |

The performances by Hawke, Hoffmann and Tomei were excellent, but this could have been a 90 minute movie and lastly severe plot holes exist in a pretty good story.
