    Before the Devil Knows You're Dead

    I saw this on a sneak preview. It is definitely a good movie, but it may not be for everyone. The genius of Sidney Lumet, the director, is evident from the first frame. The movie draws you in and never lets you go. It's not a "feel good" type of movie at all. It actually cuts to the core of discomfort dealing with siblings, parents, lies, human weakness, secrets and cover-ups. (Just in case that scares you--Lumet does tinge the scenes with comedic relief) The strong cast, the artistry of how the story is told makes it a worthwhile viewing experience. Some may quibble with the ending. Anything more said would be a spoiler.
