Before the Devil Knows You're Dead

Point I Fell Asleep: ACTUALLY STAYED AWAKE
Location: Home
Time I Started Movie: Primetime
IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0292963/

Right off the bat, you see all kinds of Marisa Tomei nakedness. Not that I'm complaining. She may be 43 years old, but she has the body of a 23 year old. Wow! So with that said, let me say that this was a GREAT movie. It's about 2 brothers who try to rob a jewely store and things go awry. The movie is kind of "Memento"-esque where it shows you the ending first and then goes back in time to show you the different vantage points. Philip Seymour Hoffman is truly an incredible actor. Throw in Ethan Hawke and Marisa, and you have a winner. My only gripe is that the ending could have explained things a little further. Even with that flaw, it's still one of the top 10 movies I've seen this year.
