Before The Devil Knows You’re Dead (Cert 18) DVD Review
12:22pm Wednesday 16th July 2008
BRUTAL, bleak and brilliant – Before The Devil Knows You’re Dead is a tour de force for director Sidney Lumet.
With superb performances from Philip Seymour–Hoffman, Ethan Hawke and Albert Finney, this film tells a morality tale of the fate of a dysfunctional family whose lives go horrifically wrong when the two brothers (Seymour–Hoffman and Hawke) commit a bungled robbery of their parents’ jewellery store.
A tragic thriller with an unexpected twist.

Seeing Fairtrade in action
A few days ago I went on the hunt for a sugar plantation, with Sue, a retired nurse from Britain who is over in Malawi doing six months’ voluntary work.

At home Sue buys all her sugar from the charity Traidcraft – so we were looking for the co-operative who their white sugar.
