Before The Devil Knows You're Dead Details

were the critics paid to like this one!

This is bad bad bad. Everyone in it is an idiot and you don't care one bit about a single person in the film. Look for something else, I think you will be glad.

This dragged on a lot

When you check the film sleeve for the running time half way through the movie you know it isn't going well! This is a film about a robbery of a jewellery store by two brothers that goes terribly wrong. There are a few moments of underlying humour and the acting is all quite acceptable. However, the pace is just so very slow and the let's see the same thing from different perspectives and pretend to be all creative is completely old and unoriginal now. The characters themselves are quite unlikeable (even to themselves!), but whereas with films like Margot at the Wedding the characters remain interesting, these do not. They are all whiney and self-involved to the extent that they actually get on your nerves. Often with films like this you can find yourself talking about them, discussing the themes etc., this one you just want to forget.
