Before The Devil Knows You're Dead

[The Mothman]

not horror, but excellent. has anyone seen this, it seemed to have fallen below the radar.
I just saw this about a half hour ago, and loved it. Its a movie about self destruction, and it provides a constant feeling of dread, great performances, (esecially by Hoffman) and great plot. anyone manage to catch this?

I hope to this week! I had heard good things, and now a recommendation from you. If things go well (finals week...blah...) I'll catch a bus down to the multiplex.

I'd never even heard of this one, thanks! Its saved at Netflix now. Sounds great. :)

[fortunato]

ugh, i've been wanting to see this very badly.
i'm hoping to catch it before it leaves theaters here.

[The Mothman]

So...no one seen it yet?

I saw it. It was damn good, but somehow it just didn't grab me. Mostly I'm just amazed that Sidney Lumet is still making movies, and that he's still making movies this good.

I watched this tonight. It was excellent. Philip Seymour Hoffman, that guy could act.

This is an amazing film. It's similar to Fargo, in that it documents a plan that goes wrong, with tragic consequences for everyone involved.

No doubt. A feel-bad movie all around, but the viewer gets some joy in the fact that the characters deserved what they got.

Heard and read positive things about it.
But I read it's kind of drama film and those usually don't appeal to me.
How's the pace of the movie?
I might give it a try.

I thought the pacing was good. It's a full two hour movie, which is longer than I typically prefer, but I didn't even notice and was engaged for the whole duration. It's not the type of drama that takes a long time to set things up. It actually jumps around chronologically, almost flashback-style.

Great film, indeed. Loved it too.

Saw it several years ago and just rewatched it a month or so ago. GREAT film with good performances by all...kind of eerie that Philip Seymour Hoffman plays a clandestine heroin user in here , seeing H is what killed him.
Also Marisa Tomei is gorgeous....
