"The Devil Knows Before You Die"

Sidney Lumet, who once brought us despair in "Long Night A Long Road", used the film language belonging to this century to direct this film, although the script seems far-fetched in some places, such as the old man who made jewelry. Andy's business card is given to Charles.

The performance propped up the entire film, which is also the biggest gain of this film.

Nowadays, American movies about family are not like the era when ethical movies were popular in the 1980s. That era was to give you hope and let you find your own way out of comparison with movies.

Now, this year, I feel particularly that if the film about the family is not a joke, or it completely breaks you down. It may be that only such a stimulus can make us examine the numb us, but after watching so many desperate home movies, I don't know what we will examine.

    Watching the actor's performance alone is perfect. But the script and editing are flawed

    Good story, good storytelling, but makes me sleepy. . . . .
