IF YOU WANT A REALLY GREAT FILM TO ADD TO YOUR DVD COLLECTION THIS IS THE MOVIE BECAUSE BEFORE THE DEVIL KNOWS YOU'RE DEAD IS A BRILLIANT THRILLER DIRECTED BY A BRILLIANT DIRECTOR. THE MAJOR REASON FOR THAT IS Philip Seymour Hoffman....HE IS THE CENTER PIECE OF THIS MOVIE AND TRULY EVIL CHARACTER AS ANDY. DONT GET ME WRONG THE CAST WAS ALSO BRILLIANT TOO. BUT WATCHING HOFFMAN PLAY EVIL IS TRUE MASTER AT WORK...HE WILL GO INTO HISTORY AS THE BEST ACTOR OF OUR TIME. WHEN YOU SEE THIS MOVIE YOU WILL BE GETTING A CLASSIC CAPER FILM GOES WRONG, BRILLIANT ACTING WITH A WONDERFUL CAST BUT MOST OF ALL YOU WILL HAVE A CLASSIC GEM OF A FILM THAT IS TRULY WORTH SEEING ...WHY HOFFMAN WAS NOT NOMINATED FOR THIS MOVIE INSTEAD OF CHARLIE WILSON WAR IS BEYOND ME BUT FOR THE MOST PART IF I WAS IN THE A OSCAR VOTER I WOULD PICK A GREAT ACTOR LIKE HOFFMAN FOR ANOTHER GREAT OSCAR PERFORMANCE...IT WAS BETTER THAN CAPOTE
