Before the Devil Knows You're Dead...

Good film.

It's a good film in part because of Marisa Tomei's titties. If it's an either/or, I'll take the titties. Good films I can get anywhere...Tomei's titties are a once or twice a lifetime phenomenon.

It was a good movie that's goodness kind of creeps up on you.
NOT CRAP

"A Mom and Pop operation...."

Brilliant.

Director Sidney Lumet even managed to get a bad performance out of Albert Finney, who, in the final scene, when he's contemplating killing his son, looks like he's in the middle of an extremely firm bowel movement.

I disagree with him of course, except for the last bit about Albert Finney, which cracked me the hell up...

Had me at hello. The Michael Shannon stuff is classic.

good, but i hated the editing immediately prior to each flashback, which seemed gratuitous and stupid. otherwise ok though.

The editing was largely unnecessary, but the performances were all great and the underlying story powerful and sad.

After seeing this movie I cannot believe that Marisa Tomei is over 40. She looks a healthy and non-Hollywood-ish 33 to me. I spotted zero evidence of plastic surgery or even botox. Caught her on some talk show last week and she looked great there too. Just really fresh and normal and FUCKING HOT.

My God, she looked incredible in those scenes.

2nded, she is a beautiful mutant of some kind.

I agree about the little flashback thing, it was dumb. And Albert Finney does that face in all his recent movies. And Marisa Tomei, holy shit. And Not Crap. It does lack something, though.
