The R-rated French trailer for the new film, “Sidney LumetBefore The Devil Knows You’re Dead,” is gripping, intriguing and a little risqué. It also proves that octegenarians can still have it (Lumet) and so can 40-something women (more on that later).
The film stars Phillip Seymour Hoffman as a coke-addled loser and Ethan Hawke as his impressionable, credible little brother and the two of them try and shave off their amounting debts. What do these geniuses do to solve their financial woes? They knock off their parent’s jewel store cause no one’s going to get hurt, right? Right?
From there the story unfolds painfully out of control.
And oh yeah, uum…Marisa Tomei is also wonderfully, umm revealing in it.
