This is a really good movie, you have to pay attention and stay in the room the whole movie...Or pause it if you have you leave the room...
Rating: - Not awesome...
Wasn't the best movie, wasn't aweful. It was very long, didn't think it would end. Not sure if i would recommend it to people unless they are movie buffs. I guess I had bigger expectations.
Rating: - Lumet: Still The Master Filmmaker
When I heard aging director Sidney Lumet was attached to BEFORE THE DEVIL KNOWS YOU'RE DEAD, I was dubious about its success. Not because Lumet has any stains on his record! Quite the contrary.

I just saw this movie on cable tv and it's one of the most powerful movies I've ever seen. People rating this movie poorly because it's depressing, because the characters are slimy and because they can't keep up with the time jumps??? Excuse me, where was it written that movies are supposed to be happy go lucky affairs with lovable characters and easy to follow narration? The negative reviewers probably need to stick with Disney movies which I think will have more of what they're looking for in a movie.
If however you want to see a film with phenomenal acting, and with a powerful twist on ... Read More
