Sidney Lumet's "Before the Devil Knows You're Dead" is such a superb crime melodrama that I almost want to leave it at that. To just stop writing right now and advise you to go out and see it as soon as you can. I so much want to avoid revealing plot points that I don't even want to risk my usual strategy of oblique hints. You deserve to walk into this one cold.
This is a movie, I promise you, that grabs you and won't let you think of anything else. It's wonderful when a director like Lumet wins a Lifetime Achievement Oscar at 80, and three years later makes one of his greatest achievements
Hold da kæft ... der er godt nok noget at glæde sig til!

Usual strategy? :-) Jeg tør aldrig læse hans anmeldelser, før jeg har set filmene, da han sædvanligvis læsser dem med langstrakte resumeer, der er propfyldt med spoilers. Anyhow, Peter Travers syntes også godt om den, så den skal da ses - det samme med Gangster :-)
#3 Ja, det er virkelig stærkt gået af Lumet, og for øvrigt gudsbenådet udtrykt af Ebert. Når det kommer til at finde lige den perfekte formulering til den rigtige lejlighed, er Ebert simpelthen uden sidestykke. :)

Ja det må man sige. Når de for sådan en er det tit fordi de er færdige i branchen, Lumet er heldigvis still going strong.
Må egentlig også være lidt ambivalent at få tildelt en lifetime achievement award, hvis man selv syntes man bare mere af gi' :D
