Before the Devil Knows You're Dead

Andy (Philip Seymour Hoffman) has planned the perfect crime and just needs his brother Hank (Ethan Hawke) to execute it. However, the job means that Hank must rob his own mom and dad's (Rosemary Harris, Albert Finney) jewelry store. The younger sibling actually goes through with the crime, his mom ends up dead and his dad swears he'll find the killer by any means necessary. Hank, meanwhile, may be able to pin the entire rap on Andy, but that means enlisting the help of Andy's wife (Marisa Tomei), with whom Hank is having an affair.
