Mafia on the run, problems

The Family (2013)

Directed by Luc Besson this film based on the novel “Malavita” stars Robert De Niro, Micheel Pfeiffer, Tommy Lee Jones, Dianna Agron and John D'Leo. An American mobster and his family move to Normandy as part of the witness protection program.

This film is pretty much as you expect and while fun is never as fun as the premise and talent involved would lead you to hope for. At times it does feel a bit like it is just plodding through expected beats but it is not a boring watch. Disappointingly the film lacks any of Besson's usual style but Michelle Pfeiffer gives a performance way better than a pedestrian film like this deserves.


3/5
