Synopsis

Late in the game, Sidney Lumet delivered this nonlinear, intellectual thriller marked by its formal precision, some family drama befitting Greek tragedy, and expert performances from Philip Seymour Hoffman, Ethan Hawke, Marisa Tomei, and Albert Finney. Two brothers (Hoffman and Hawke) conspire to rob their parents' suburban jewelry store, but the job goes horribly wrong, sending their lives cascading towards disaster. "Lumet hasn''t lost one beat in 50 years" (Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times). Nominated for two Independent Sidney Lumet---USA---2007---117 mins.

I hated this movie for the violence. I don't need to see all the blood and guts to know someone was shot. It was described as a psychological thriller, but to me it was not much of a thriller and the psychology wasn't pronounced enough. I hope not all of us who did not have a perfect parent go nuts like this.
