Patient and intriguing film. Demands your full attention and delivers great acting built around a solid script
Acting giants make this tense story work. Seriously underuses Tomei, though.
Two brothers rob their parents jewelry store and things go drastically wrong good performances by Seymour Hoffman and Hawke
Very intense and great acting by the whole crew! One of my all time favorites.
Such a treat to see these two acting masters together that I didn't care about the story, but it was suitably effed up and depressing.
Just saw this for the first time recently... how did I miss this when it came out? Stellar performances, a genius storyline - loved it
A very nice crime-thriller movie with outstanding performances from Philip Seymour Hoffman and Ethan Hawke.
Amazing acting and story, an underrated gem. Deep look into greed, heartbreak, and family. How did this movie not get more attention?
Incredibly tense thriller, great acting, story is unique and unfolds like a Greek tragedy, highly recommended
Good plot. Brothers plan Rob the fathers, chaos ends. Hoffman shows why we miss him.
