Before the Devil Knows You're Dead
Sydney Lumet was 83 when he did this film. Boy, I wish I'd be as sharp and focussed like he must have been at that age, judging from this film. A disturbing thriller. If there's one director who knows how to make films about failed heist and its consequences to individuals inhabiting the film, it should be him. Look at The Anderson Tapes or Dog Day Afternoon (I know, I know, PR).
And wonderful performances from Phillip Seymour Hoffman (90s evaevanaiyo nambunen, but he turned out to be the hope), Ethan Hunt (why Tom Cruise? why not him?) & Albert Finney. And why is Marissa Tomei showing more and more skin nowadays. Is it some sort of atonement for wrongly winning best actress Oscar for My Cousin Vinny? :evil:
You meen Ethan Hawke.Ethan Hunt is Cruise's name in the MI series. Where does that leave you :lol2:Quote:

What I meant was, why half-baked like Cruise get to be big, when Hawke, who has the good and acting chop never get to be as big as the Scientologist couch jumper.
Oh, maybe the answer is in the above sentence :roll:
Cruise had studio backing. He chose to work with the best production companies, and their marketing ensured he'd be the biggest prima donna of Hollywood. Hawke on the other hand, was always seen as a grownup-child artist who likes to work with independent filmmakers like Richard Linklater. The distribution, and hence the 'hype' was pretty low.
Btw, Am I right in thinking Will Smith is the undisputed No.1 at the moment?
Yes. There was some ranking done recently and he is number one. I got no issue with that. Very talented man, that former Fresh Prince of Bel Air.
