Review: Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead
A typical indie thriller, low budget, but good acting. Ethan Hawke excellently displays a younger weaker somewhat nervous brother, while Philip Seymour Hoffman takes care of the big brother role. Both have anything dialogue and inner turmoil to shine.
The story concept is nice, but here and there predictable. It doesn’t need that much details, and relies more on the relationships and the thrillery moments. All in all, pretty enjoyable for a darkish drama.7+.
