Movie discussion: "Before the Devil Knows You're Dead"

[Home_Slice]

I definitely dig the leading actors, Ethan Hawk and Philip Seymore Hoffman.

But having watched about 20 minutes, the plot is kind of lame and the acrimony between the characters kind of off putting.

It was highly rated, and the reason I wanted to see it was cause Philip Seymore Hoffman's role (albeit short) in "Hard Eight" was expertly played and quite endearing.

Anyone see it?

Worth a watch?

It's OK. Lumet made some good films but he's way past his prime for this one. Worth a watch just for Marisa Tomei tbh.

I liked it, but it is a bit convoluted. Marissa Tomei shows the goods though.

Marisa went bottomless in one scene where most actresses would have just kept the sheets covering and just pretending they were bottomless.

The scene receiving doggystyle could have been a body double since they didn't show the face.
