REVIEW: Before the Devil Knows Your Dead

Reviewer: Alan Kelly Before the Devil Knows your Dead is “as serious as a heart attack” and a chilling indictment of humanity and the lengths the individual will go to escape the bondage of their own personal hells.

Quite possibly the most solid piece of film-making that you are likely to see this year. A film that will throttle you, make you squirm and is extraordinarily uncomfortable to watch. It is a testimony to Lumet’s vision as a director (Network, Serpico, Dog Day Afternoon) and Kelly Masterson’s (her debut) crafty ability as a writer.
