This is a great film! Could be too depressing for some, but I think it's intriguing. Personally, I think this would be a horrible situation to be in. A simple robbery goes wrong and it's all down hill from there for this family. Philip Seymour Hoffman, as always, is great in this film! He's great at playing a role of somebody who's insecure, depressed, angry, and morally challenged. If you like interesting and intense stories of human struggles, then you've got to watch this!

The actors did a good job in this movie. The story was interesting. All the flashbacks and flashfowards ruined it for me. A lot of the same scenes played over and over. Whoever did this, the Director maybe, needs to find a new line of work. You are pathetic. What a shame. Good story, Good actors , ect. ruined by some idiot muddying it all up with mixed up locations and times. No I could not recommend this movie to anyone for fear of driving them nutty.Burn it ,or Fix it.

I hope she doesn't decide to become a porn star next. Yeah, I've always liked her and find all of her nudity and sex scenes to be a little over the top. Still, it's hard not to like looking at her body.

No Oscar, but American Film Institute Awards 2007, Boston Society of Film Critics Award for Best Cast, Gotham Awards – Best Ensemble Cast, Satellite Award for Best Cast – Motion Picture. I am a movie buff and I am pretty critical, but I was impressed. That was great. Albert Finney is always top knotch. The cast was excellent. Loved it. See 1 other reply

A waste of time. Predictable and melodramatic. Plus, the plot didn't even address what happens to the other brother at the end.
