I am now sure why I chose this movie to see. I know that the title is funny, but Before the Devil Knows You are Dead is a strange movie that do not resemble much of the title. The story is explained in an interesting fashion, showing portions of the live of different people, that we start combining in a story.
The only thing about the title is the preambule, shown before the movie title: a guy making sex. Accordingly with the movie director that is like heaven, at least for that specific guy. And, accordingly with the full plot, that guy will go directly to hell, no doubt. Thus, those are the moments before the devil knows you are dead.
The rest of the movie, is just a crime/drama story. The criminals are shown right at the beginning, who dies is shown right away, as well. The only things that are kept to discover is how people will behave when they find out whose fault is the crime.
I won't give more than 7 to the movie, although the classification is higher in IMDB at the moment.
I can't remember if I saw any of the previous ones. If something on me says I did, some other things say I didn't. So, probably I'll watch them again, in any case.
The movie is quite well rated in IMDB (8.2/10) and I'll probably vote 8 in 10.
So, in this moment you should be asking: why to see a movie with that name, and just 5.9 in 10 of classification in IMDB? Well, you know. Sometimes there is something strange that gets through your mind, and you do strange things.
Now that I wasted 95 minutes of my life watching it, let me say something about it. A guy, is a Mormon, going from door to door evangelizing. It knocks in the wrong door, where a pornographic movie is being recorded, and is convinced to do the main character in that movie. That character is a super hero, that helps girls.. basically fucking them. The story grows from there to little more.
So, the movie is not erotic or pornographic. Just stupid. I remember to see erotic and almost considered pornographic movies with more history than this one...
Well, do not follow my instinct! Do not buy this! This is a total assassination of Queen music. While the instrumental portion is reasonable, the voice is a total disaster.
I am not sure if I will listen to this album again!
