‘Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead’ — Giveaway!

June 16th, 2008 in Actors, Contests, Directors, Dvd

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.
