Synopsis

Before the Devil Knows You're Dead (2007) is a crime drama you can watch online on iFILM. Directed by Sidney Lumet — his final film. Philip Seymour Hoffman, Ethan Hawke, Albert Finney and Marisa Tomei head the cast.

Andy Hanson is drowning in debt and a drug habit. His younger brother Hank is behind on child support and out of options. Andy lays out a plan: rob their parents' small jewelry store. Insurance pays, no one gets hurt, problem solved. Hank goes along. Then one of them quietly changes a detail — and the whole thing comes apart in the worst possible way, pulling every member of the Hanson family into the wreckage. Lumet tells the story out of sequence, circling back to the same morning from a different angle each time, adding a new layer of damage with every pass.

Made for $18 million, the film drew strong reviews at the Toronto and Venice festivals. Hoffman and Hawke are each working at full intensity — two men watching the same disaster from completely different vantage points. Stream Before the Devil Knows You're Dead (2007) on iFILM.
