It has a great cast, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Ethan Hawke, Marisa Tomei, Albert Finney, and it has a great director, Sidney Lumet, so by now if you're a film aficionado you should already be sold on Before the Devil Knows You're Dead. This very indie film is about two brothers that try rob their parent's jewelry store. From the start you know there's going to be problems. This trailer makes it look a lot better than it actually is (I screened it at the Toronto Film Fest), but it's worth watching anyway. This won't be in theaters too long before it makes it to DVD but a few people might be interested in checking it out.

The trailer comes courtesy of IGN, so send your thanks to them. I screened this at the Toronto Film Fest and enjoyed it (6.5/10) but wouldn't call it anything amazing. It felt like there just wasn't a story "worth telling" but rather just a bland film. Others have had different reactions so if you're up for a good indie then I'd say watch it, otherwise skip it until DVD.
