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.

Enthralling
'Before the Devil Knows You're Dead' is an excellent, well paced thriller where the great lead actors Hoffman, Hawke, Finney and Tomei all have the chance to overshadow each other but don't.

The non-linear direction is not difficult to follow and works particularly well thanks to Lumet's years of experience.
A definite must see. -
