A tense anti-caper that's part thriller and part Greek tragedy, the crime is such a prize specimen in the gallery of regrettable decisions that director Sidney Lumet gets the scene of the crime out of the way early, then keeps coming back to it for the rest of the movie, as if trying to figure out how all of these well-intentioned people got here in the first place.Synopsis from Fandango
Andy (Philip Seymour Hoffman), a debt-ridden broker, needs some quick cash. He ropes his younger brother, Hank (Ethan Hawke), into a scheme to commit the perfect crime: to rob their parents' (Albert Finney, Rosemary Harris) jewelry store. The scheme goes horribly awry, and the family patriarch takes justice into his own hands, unaware that the criminals he is hunting are his own sons.
