Nasty, but brilliant
When I see this film reviewed, over and over, as a comedy, I don’t know whether to laugh or to cry. This is one of the most brutally cynical, agonizingly tragic films I’ve ever seen – the story of a family caught up in the romance of crime, trying to help at least the youngest generation escape its inevitable fate.

Perhaps it helps to know Sidney Lumet’s other work, especially his previous bitterly brilliant collaborations with Sean Connery: The Hill, and The Offense. Family Business is a similarly scathing attack on preconceptions. Lumet takes what looks like a tame little ‘heist comedy’ scenario and shows just how poisonously evil it really is. He gives us the charming scoundrel (Connery), and shows how destructive his devil-may-care attitude can be.

One might as well criticize Othello or Macbeth for having no laughs. This film is, in fact, Shakespearian in its tragic dimensions. Connery starts out with the classic Tragic Flaw, and must pay for it in the end. (There is a heroic dimension in his ultimate realization, at least.)

I can easily understand that many people won’t enjoy this film. It’s a nasty, venomous, painful piece of work. But it’s also quite brilliant. If you want easy answers, by all means, rent Ocean’s Eleven. But if you’re up for a challenge, don’t overlook Family Business.
