Review of Before the Devil Knows You're Dead (2007) by Paulw. — 05 Mar 2008
A totally uninteresting been-there-done-that experience with a completely unimpressive, made-for-TV-feel atmosphere and a throw-away script to top the turd. No plausible or believable motivations are given for any of the character's actions, scenes are superfluously stretched adding exactly nothing to nought and the "Pulp Fiction-style" flashbacks with bits being repeated made it painfully obvious that no original thought was ever meant to be put into this astonishingly tired effort at 'clever' film-making.
Only recommended for the repeated showing of Marisa Tomei's incredibly handsome fanny, the most Oscar-worthy display of a rear-end since Portman's lapdance in 'Closer'.
