PSH is good as creepy and unlikeable drug addict.
We were slightly thrown by an opening sequence which looks like it's the end - but it isn't.
Debut of screenwriter Kelly Masterson; Lumet's swansong, aged 83.

Before the Devil Knows You're Dead (2007 Sidney Lumet)
Shown by Channel 4 as a tribute to Philip Seymour Hoffman without any ad breaks (nor announcement of this), which I thought was rather cool (unheard of, in fact). Here he encourages his hard-up brother Ethan Hawk to join him in robbing their parents' (Albert Finney and Rosemary Harris) jewellery store, with unfortunate results. Flashbacks reveal past lives and moments, including girlfriends Marisa Tomei and Aleksa Palladino and brother Michael Shannon.
