              Overview

              Legendary Hollywood director Sidney Lumet’s final film is as blistering as any young director’s. In desperate need of money, brothers Philip Seymour Hoffman and Ethan Hawke rob a ‘mom and pop’ jewelry store – only it belongs to their own mom and pop. Murder and time-tripping editing ensue; and Albert Finney’s paterfamilias is as displeased as in any Greek tragedy.

              Lumet’s 50s-TV-forged naturalism finds its Jacobean alter ego.
