This scabrous, provocative work of film noir comes from one of cinema’s more intriguing masters. Sidney Lumet. Essentially a botched-heist thriller, it has one chilling, essential twist and a fascinating formal conceit. The twist is that the perpetrators of the heist are two brothers, and their parents own the suburban jewelry store they want to rob. Once again, Philip Seymour Hoffman is outstanding.
