Capone wants you to check out the trailer for Sidney Lumet's BEFORE THE DEVIL KNOWS YOU'RE DEAD!!!

Saw this at a test screening last year by Mike_Ock	Aug 22nd, 2007 08:07:57 AM
It's really fucking boring. Most of the movie is shot with one camera, TV style, with almost no cuts during the scenes and it's tough to sith through an entire movie like that. Marisa Tomei is topless a few times, so that's the only thing that makes it watchable.

wow, that trailer looks AMAZING by Magic Rat	Aug 22nd, 2007 08:19:35 AM
great premise for a movie. I'm really looking forward to this. And since when do they put full frontal nudity in a trailer?

How else to explain this cracker's life?
Marisa Tomei does Italy proud by BringingSexyBack	Aug 22nd, 2007 08:21:02 AM

Before the Devil Made His Bed. by Stuntcock Mike	Aug 22nd, 2007 08:43:50 AM
Isn't Sidney about 98 years old by now?
Re: lamethetic by TheNorthlander	Aug 22nd, 2007 08:44:24 AM
Nah, it's not as lametheticicst as Midichlorian.
Well, now I don't have to see it by theBigE	Aug 22nd, 2007 08:51:17 AM
That pretty much was the whole movie, right? And if naked Tomei is the only reason to see it, we get that in the trailer too, so we're all set!
Hawke + Hoffman = Brothers? by theBigE	Aug 22nd, 2007 08:53:04 AM
Yeah, I buy that. Kind of like Owen Wilson, Jason Swartzenbaum, and Adrien Brody. Real lookalikes.
Wow they just showed the whole movie by BringingSexyBack	Aug 22nd, 2007 09:02:27 AM
Great trailer, just too spoilerish. Marisa's rack .... Mama Mia!
NICE FUCKING SPOILER WARNING!!!!!! by Wheel99	Aug 22nd, 2007 09:02:48 AM
I hate when a trailer gives up every fucking plot detail almost as much as when this site forgets that there are movie fans who would like to actually like to see a movie with out knowing every single detail about the movie before buying a ticket.
looks alright by Charlie Murphy	Aug 22nd, 2007 09:08:30 AM
i'll probably see it
I'm at work right now by Bloo	Aug 22nd, 2007 09:10:47 AM
so I can't preview the preview and make sure Marisa is in her all kinds of glorious nakedness, but I'll take evryone's word for it that it is glorious
Why not give away the end too? by psychedelic	Aug 22nd, 2007 09:12:09 AM
They gave away everything else.
Looks awseome... by FILMFUNK	Aug 22nd, 2007 09:44:23 AM
But i had to stop watching coz it seemed to be showing THE ENTIRE FILM!!!!
And I used to complain about US trailers.... by TVguy4566	Aug 22nd, 2007 09:44:53 AM
giving up too much plot. Wow, apparently in France the trailers are basically the cliffnote version of the movie. Unless all that we saw in this trailer unfolds in the first half hour and most of the movie is about dealing with the aftermath of killing their own mother, what is the point of even going to see the movie now? It has a great cast, but it seems I have seen the movie already. The only payoff we haven't seen is when Bryan Cox's character finds out that his two sons were responsible for his wife's death.
Before the Devil Drives his Sled by liljuniorbrown	Aug 22nd, 2007 09:52:26 AM
He beats the shit out of those dogs with a pitch fork. I thought this movie looked interesting,too much in the trailer though.
Well, I guess it looks better than... by The Central Scrutinizer	Aug 22nd, 2007 10:19:16 AM
..."Find Me Guilty".
Was that Uncle Ben and Aunt May? by Jonny_Dr_Thunder	Aug 22nd, 2007 10:35:17 AM
That was an amazing trailer, though, thanks for sharing, Capone!
Holy fucking spoilers, batman by mr.underwater	Aug 22nd, 2007 10:46:50 AM
I had to watch it because I'm a big Lumet fan, but it seems like they give away the entire first two acts of the movie. I really hope that when I do see the whole thing, there's a lot more to it than what's given away in the trailer.
Before The Devil Chooses HD-DVD or Blu-Ray In His Head by Darth Bauer	Aug 22nd, 2007 10:56:21 AM
Which does he choose?!
Not Brian Cox by plocock	Aug 22nd, 2007 11:00:29 AM
That was Albert Finney. He looks old.
plocock by TVguy4566	Aug 22nd, 2007 11:17:54 AM
My bad. I guess I had Brian Cox on the brain.
That looks fucking intense. by mr. brownstone	Aug 22nd, 2007 11:41:25 AM
Seriously. It gave me chills.
Lumet has done too many good flicks by ewokstew	Aug 22nd, 2007 12:19:51 PM
for me not to give this a chance. As over the top as the performances in Q&A were, i.e. Nick Nolte, that was still a heck of a movie.
Ethan Hawke is so sexy. by Jakes Nel	Aug 22nd, 2007 01:34:53 PM
And no, I am not ashamed to say it. Well, I am now...
BringingSexyBack...... by SubliminalJones	Aug 22nd, 2007 01:45:18 PM
Better back off, boy, ya hear? That's MY Sammitch.
Now I don't have to see it. by necco	Aug 22nd, 2007 02:02:41 PM
The trailer showed all the major plot points. The nude Marisa Tomei I can get on Mr. Skin next week.
Worse. Trailer. Ever. by bb6634	Aug 22nd, 2007 03:15:36 PM
OK, not ever, but the trailer should have come with a spoiler warning. Nice Tomei nudity though.
jesus... totally ruined the film for me by mansep	Aug 22nd, 2007 03:17:48 PM
thanks
BEFORE THE DEVIL WATCHES "FLED" by the_man_from_Rio	Aug 22nd, 2007 04:35:59 PM
he'll be pretty pissed off afterwards.
Marisa Tomei...yum. by TheBloop	Aug 22nd, 2007 07:15:26 PM
I watch her in the "Day after the Day After Tomorrow" or some other shitty "message" movie because she is soooo hot. Ethan Hawke is a little bitch though. He need to get the hell away from her before I do a tap dance and his head and make him like it.
That felt like the cliff note version of the movie.... by Henryhill76	Aug 22nd, 2007 09:02:31 PM
Jesus, I stopped after 3 minutes because I might actually want to go see this movie in the theater. I guess this is why the French hate American movies so much....
I want Marisa Tomei's... by vettebro	Aug 22nd, 2007 10:13:08 PM
Boobies in my mouth...Yes!
I'll see the full lengh version of it... by slicer	Aug 22nd, 2007 11:02:24 PM
I'll see the full lengh version of it...just to see more of Marisa Tomei's yummy gum drops! (and I guess to see how it ends, since we saw everything else!)

Which gives you a pretty good Lead.

Ya know it!
Before the Devil Get Naked by MrMysteryGuest	Aug 23rd, 2007 02:56:43 AM
Ew!
Yeah, Capone, that trailer was not for the public. by ImFixingtoDie	Aug 23rd, 2007 04:43:00 AM
It was for distributors, they're actually quite pissed. Just like Walsh about the MEDELLIN trailer on ENTOURAGE. If you'll notice, it spoils the entire movie. Maybe next time, do a little bit of research? Your heart is in the right place though.
ImFixingtoDie by ELGordo	Aug 23rd, 2007 05:04:27 AM
I was just going to say that. It's not a trailer for public viewing as evident by the "NOW IN POST PRODUCTION" line in the end. But I have to say that this looks great, good premise and great cast and Lumet is a pretty solid director.
