Sidney Lumet delivers another masterpiece to an already impressive legacy that includes 12 Angry Men, Long Day's Journey Into Night, Serpico, Murder on the Orient Express, Dog Day Afternoon, Network and The Verdict. His returns to the top shows no sign of slowing down for the master and astonishes that he still can deliver. His strength and forte is character driven drama. He's got an stellar cast and script with this "Greek tragedy" of a story about two desperate brothers whose lives spin out of control after reach out to desperate measures. The disintegration of a family has rarely been so well done on screen and Lumet is a master at that. Philip Seymour Hoffman, Ethan Hawke and Albert Finney deliver outstanding performance along equally supporting performances by Marisa Tomei, Rosemary Harris and Amy Ryan.
