If you loved The Offence, try Before the Devil Knows You're Dead

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Sidney Lumet, and they sit in Crime / Drama / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Offence, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Before the Devil Knows You're Dead is

Suburban New York, autumn leaves, a jewelry store window. Two brothers plot, a heist unfolds, family ties fray. Lumet exposes the dark underbelly of family dynamics.
