Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead – Giveaway! Details are below.
When you hear titles like Fail-Safe, 12 Angry Men, Serpico, Dog Day Afternoon, Network, The Verdict, you think of a group of well-made films by a true filmmaker Sidney Lumet. His casting is “spot on” without a doubt. Network is a fine example with William Holden, Robert Duvall, Peter Finch, Faye Dunaway and Ned Beatty.
Last night, I popped Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead in my player. The title comes from the Irish saying: “May you be in heaven a full half hour before the devil knows you’re dead.”
I am awed by Lumet’s direction, camera shots and casting. Although the film is peppered with adult scenes and subject matter with gratuitous nude scenes, I am impressed with the actors, edit cuts and the overall production.
The cast is superb including Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Ethan Hawke, Marisa Tomei and Albert Finney. Together they hold a strong creative, dynamic force in the plot driven film.
I am going to giveaway my copy of Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead because I want one of you to win the DVD – you’ll see a superior story with outstanding direction by Lumet.
Simply post your name and I will draw the winner on Thursday, June 19 – good luck.

Marisa Tomei is quite…uh…surprising in several scenes in this movie. Appropriate movie for mother’s day/father’s day season.
