“Live by Night” is set in the roaring `20s when Prohibition hasn’t stopped the flow of ? in an underground network of gangster-run speakeasies. The opportunity to gain power and money is there for any man with enough ambition and nerve and Joe Coughlin, the son of the Boston Police Superintendent, long ago turned his back on his strict upbringing for the spoils of being an outlaw. But even among criminals there are rules and Joe breaks a big one: crossing a powerful mob boss by stealing his money and his moll. The fiery affair ends in tragedy, setting Joe on a path of revenge, ambition, romance and betrayal that propels him out of Boston and up the ladder of Tampa’s steamy rum-running underworld.
Starring with Affleck are Elle Fanning (“Maleficent”), Brendan Gleeson (“In the Heart of the Sea,” the “Harry Potter” films), Chris Messina (“Argo,” “The Mindy Project”), Sienna Miller (“American Sniper,” “Foxcatcher”), Zoe Saldana (“Guardians of the Galaxy,” “Avatar”), and Oscar winner Chris Cooper (“Adaptation,” “The Town”).

Looking good.

I ? with Ben Affleck heavy since he won me back over with The Town.

And if he's writing/directing this ? almost guaranteed to be fire.

Anyone seen this? I don't like critiquing a movie right away on the first watch.

I wanted to see it til I saw Ben Affleck was in it...not a fan of his acting at all.

And it's also a Dennis Lehane book....not really a fan of his stories either.

If the consensus is that it's fire I'll check it out...

I thought it was pretty good but felt like it was missing something to make it a great film.

A lot happened but at the same time it didn't. Wish it had more gun play and developed some of the side characters a little more. It was sort of Affleck and everyone else. It actually had some funny moments also had some racist moments too but I guess that's to be expected. It was the Prohibition era.

That's what it is! They didn't do much with the gangster lifestyle. You didn't get the sense they were doing anything illegal in the second half of the film is where it was supposed to pick up. It didn't really pick up but it was still a good movie.

I want to watch this but everyone i've spoken to has said it's just about mediocre and that Affleck dropped the ball on this one.

I felt like they skimmed through what could've been the best scenes. Ending was kinda cool though
