Live by Night (2016)
Directed by star Ben
Affleck this film based on the novel of the same name also features
Zoe Saldana, Chris Messina, Elle Fanning and Chris Cooper. A man from
Boston becomes involved with the Italian mob selling rum in the
Depression era.
Taking a familiar tack
of using organised crime to critique the American experience there is
not a lot that is new here. At times the film feels heavy handed and
somewhat trudges through familiar genre elements. There is a really
impressive case but it does feel like a bit of a waste at times.
3/5
