Review of Before the Devil Knows You're Dead (2007) by Mikeb. — 22 Apr 2008
I agree with the Baltimore Sun evaluation... good acting, but not an enjoyable movie. This is an ugly movie in tone and essence, ultimately meaningless, which seemed to be the theme. I didn't care about the characters one whit, and the directorial drive towards pointless tragedy told without any kind of vision left me feeling like I was abused by the film.
I pity the poor actors forced to live those characters for however long the project look.
