BEFORE THE DEVIL KNOWS YOU’RE DEAD (2007)
Noir melodrama in which two brothers (Philip Seymour Hoffman and Ethan Hawke) desperate for money hatch a plan to rob their parents’ jewelry store, knowing the robbery will be covered by insurance. But the robbery goes terribly wrong, bringing to light long-ignored family issues, and ruining the lives of everyone involved.
This is one of the more stressful, despairing movies I can think of. Wonderful ensemble cast and very dark and moving story.
