Before The Devil Knows You're Dead

Sydney Lumet brings this enclosed murder story to the screen with a small cast (featuring PS Hoffman Albert Finney and Ethan Hawke in the main roles)about a robbery that goes horribly wrong and the effects as the ripples spread inwards.
You will have to see it to realise...
The story is told as a series of different character's viewpoints over the weeks of the events. I enjoyed tat as different aspects of events were more or less emphasised by this technique.
The acting is good throughout, but somehow the film seems to lack something in an ultimate sense.
Not that I am saying don't see it as it zips through the 2 hours, but that if the film was twice as long, an at first short story might have been fully uncovered.
