Before the Devil Knows You're Dead

Before the Devil Knows You're Dead stars Philip Seymour Hoffman and Ethan Hawke as brothers that have robbed their parent's jewelry store and it goes horrible wrong. You would think there would be some bad blood between the parents and their sons, but none of that exists. I wouldn't even call it desperation; the men aren't down and out, but they believe they need the money to further their lives. The story is compelling and it's fascinating how a family can be ripped apart in such an unimaginable way. 

Something Extra:

I live on IMDB.com and someone commented that the father's (Albert Finney) acting wasn't great and I kind of agree. At times I found Finney to be very dramatic, but at other times I found him very believable.
