An invigorating, refreshing and unusual thing to see one done so expertly. – Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
Sidney Lumet’s Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead is such a superb crime melodrama that I almost want to leave it at that. To just stop writing right now and advise you to go out and see it as soon as you can. – Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
At a time when family movies are usurped by fantasies of sentimental feelgood, Lumet’s latest — the mangled-heist melodrama Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead — delivers a swift kick straight to the jewels. – Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star
