This incredible film by Sidney Lumet is undoubtedly one of the years best. Script by Kelly Masterson, the story is about 2 brothers that decide to rob a jewelry store due to their financial needs but botches the robbery and someone gets hurt. Impeccably written.

I didn’t even realize that the brother was banging the other brothers wife. That was crazy! Anyway, what I took away was how desperate people can get in their desire to get over. The need to “survive” will have some people cross moral boundaries which they never thought were possible. The worst part is that, that vision of “surviving” has been deformed through a life of bad decisions giving bad outcomes, to the point that you don’t recognize your own definition of “surviving”.

Great Film. Must See.
