Philip Seymour Hoffman, Ethan Hawke, Albert Finney, and Marisa Tomei star in director Sidney Lumet's thriller concerning two brothers who hatch a plan to rob their parent's jewelry store. When the job goes awry, the entire family is set on a collision course with tragedy. Andy (Hoffman) is an overextended broker in desperate need of some cash. His brother Hank (Hawke) isn't much better off, so when Andy hatches a plan to rob their parent's modest jewelry store it seems like a foolproof way to make a quick buck. But Andy's trophy wife Gina (Tomei) is secretly sleeping with libidinous younger brother Hank, and when the robbery proves a complete disaster it isn't long before loyalties start to shift. Now Andy and Hank's father Charles (Finney) is determined to make the unidentified robbers pay for their crime. What's a father to do when he discovers that the ones he loves most become are his worst enemies? ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
