Sidney Lumet directs this absorbing suspense thriller about a family facing the worst enemy of all: itself.
Lumet pieces the early sequences of the movie together with a Tarentino flashback style going back and forth to and from a robbery in a suburban mall, each time giving us more crucial backstory.
In this movie Lumet introduces one of his great thematic concerns: how children inadvertently or deliberately become burdened by the aspirations of their parents. The wounds caused by family dysfunctions leave permanent scars for Lumet’s protagonists.
