Master filmmaker Sidney Lumet directs this absorbing suspense thriller about a family facing the worst enemy of all - itself.
Andy (Philip Seymour Hoffman) is an overextended broker who lures his younger brother, Hank (Ethan Hawke) into a larcenous scheme: the pair will rob a suburban mum-and-dad jewelry store that appears to be the quintessential easy target. The problem is, the store owners are Andy and Hank's actual mum and dad and, when the seemingly perfect crime goes awry, the damage lands right at their doorstep.

a rather muddled plot.

This becomes a cofused plot as it repeadedly returns to events leading up to the robbery, trying to explain the reasons for various cast members involvement.
Of course this has all been done before and since, probably a recent example is 'vantage point' ( which in my opinion is a far better film than this one )
It has a good cast which is what drew my attention to it, and in fairness when the plot reached present time and the element of revenge for various mis-deeds were involved, this being the final 20 minutes or so it became quite enjoyable.
Would i reccomend that you buy this on 'blu-ray' ? ..........No..... Rent it or buy for a cheaper price on 'dvd'
