"Has there ever been a movie robbery that did not go horribly wrong? Ethan Hawke and Philip Seymour Hoffman plan the train-wreckiest heist ever and everyone gets buried under a mountain of despair." - Tim P.

Two brothers are living beyond their means, and in sin. To get out of their money problems, they mastermind a "victimless" crime that has gone wrong, very wrong and it ends badly, very badly. See how each of the characters would fare…

An almost perfect film! Do not miss Mr. Hoffman at the peak of his acting powers!

Gripping use of flashbacks to convey what happened from the perspective of each of the key players. Philip Seymour Hoffman is outstanding in this spellbinding thriller.

Anybody who appreciates Philip Seymour Hoffman diverse roles has to see this movie. The message about crime never paying is truly one of the best done otherwise.

A fierce neo-noir from Sidney Lumet about desperate individuals suffocating in the rat-race; unraveling at the brink; looking for a way out. With incomprehensible consequences. An outstanding flick on every level. (And I concur w/others'…

I liked this movie. Phillip Seymour Hoffman is always good. Some people may not like it because it is a smaller film, not a big blockbuster.

It was O.K for a home TV movie. I was entertained and interesting. But it was NOT worth the long library wait or the price to rent from a Red Box. "I fast forwarded a lot but not all the way.”

Sooo many bad decisions, sooo little time.

This is a seriously poor film. I am deeply disappointed that Philip Seymour Hoffman would agree to do anything like this. The plot had some substance but it was badly delivered mainly through the writing, not the actors themselves. Were…

For those who find it both horrifying and satisfying to watch other people make decisions with dreadful consequences.

With an intelligent script and an excellent cast, it is no wonder that this film has received so many accolades. This is no ordinary crime movie and it is a must see.

A very good film to watch, but (for me) not something to watch again. It deals with the depths of human depravity; greed that changed and ruined lives; money trumped familiar bonds, etc. What's great was a good script and terrific…

This was Sidney Lumet’s last film and it was done well. This film plays out like a Shakespearean tragedy. It has a great cast a great script and the acting is fantastic. Philip Seymour Hoffman, Albert Finney and Ethan Hawke do a perfect…

For me, this film had impact. In fact, I watched it twice even tho' the second time we watched it was a mistake. I found it very interesting that I couldn't predict the scenes. There's something attention grabbing about the way the…

If it not for a great actors performance - nothing to watch. The structure of the film is not very good. And the scenes of lovemaking don’t do any good to a film. Just give some sense of hideousness.

Very dark movie that leaves a bitter after taste after watching it.

This thriller takes one to the lowest depths of humanity. A planned "perfect" robbery leads to tragedy and ruined lives. Superb acting as well as an intense emotional roller coaster ride.
