reminiscent of spike lee's "the inside man'', sidney lumet's final film revolves around the tale of two brothers and a heist gone awry. philip seymour hoffman, ethan hawke and albert finney all give solid performances, with the off kilter strucure lending hugely to the slight plot. "before the devil knows youre dead" makes a good companion piece to lumet's earlier "dog day afternoon".
