    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Sidney Lumet said that the scene between Philip Seymour Hoffman and Marisa Tomei in the car when Hoffman has his breakdown was one of the most extraordinary scenes of acting with which he had ever been involved.
    • Goofs
      In the scene where Andy and Gina are discussing whether they should leave for Rio, she mentions that there are no extradition treaties between Brazil and the United States. This is not true, although her comment was actually more a jab at her husband than actual knowledge.
    • Quotes

      Andrew 'Andy' Hanson: The thing about real estate accounting is that you can, you can, add down the page or across the page and everything works out. Everyday, everything adds up. The, the total is always the sum of its parts. It's, uh, clean. It's clear. Neat, absolute. But my life, it, uh, it doesn't add up. It, uh... Nothing connects to anything else. It's, uh... I'm not, I'm not the sum of my parts. All my parts don't add up to one... to one me, I guess.

      Justin: Get a shrink or a wife.

      Andrew 'Andy' Hanson: Uh, I got a wife.

      Justin: Get a shrink.

    The brothers...
    "Before the Devil Knows You're Dead" is a Crime - Drama movie in which we watch two brothers organize the robbery of their parents jewelry story but everything goes wrong. Some other events and problems occur and they have to figure out the perfect way to solve them in order for anyone not to be hurt.

    I liked this movie because I found it very interesting since it had a very good plot and a well-written script. The direction which was made by Sidney Lumet was simply amazing and he presented very well the differences of the two brothers in combination with the whole family situation, something that made us understand even better the plot and be a part of it. Regarding the interpretations I have to say that Philip Seymour Hoffman who played as Andy was for one more time exceptional and he made an amazing performance. Some other interpretations that have to be mentioned were Ethan Hawke's who played as Hank, Marisa Tomei's who played as Gina and Albert Finney's who played as Charles. Finally, I strongly recommend everyone to watch this movie because I am sure that you will enjoy it and you won't believe what you are watching.
