Live by Night boasts visual style and an impressive cast, but they're lost in a would-be crime saga that finds producer, director, and star Ben Affleck revisiting familiar themes to diminishing effect.

It's more concerned with flattering our modern sensibility than truly plunging us into the mores of the 1920s. April 6, 2020 | Full Review…

It's not Goodfellas. It lacks the black humour and the relish for eccentricity for its own sake, and the ending verges on mawkishness. But it's great entertainment -- a cunningly wrought tribute to old-fashioned Hollywood and the Warners style. January 27, 2017 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Live By Night is a confusing jumble. But above all, it commits the cardinal sin of gangster movies: It's really, really boring. January 25, 2017 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

Individual sequences are also compellingly handled and, as Affleck has demonstrated in his previous films as director... he's an accomplished storyteller.Yet the film doesn't entirely hang together. January 20, 2017 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…

You probably won't turn it off when it comes on cable. But the material needs to be bigger, more momentous, as well as more intimate. January 17, 2017 | Full Review…

One of the film's final set pieces is so wonderfully staged that it reminds you what skill Affleck has with the camera. Next time, he should perhaps confine himself behind it. January 16, 2017 | Full Review…

The editing ruins much of the excitement mustered by the long-awaited showdown, as it refuses to simply wrap things up. December 5, 2020 | Rating: 4/10 | Full Review…

If Affleck considers himself the martyr of this production, that level of sacrifice was both unnecessary and entirely avoidable. September 23, 2020 | Rating: 1.5/5 | Full Review…

Affleck has created a fantasy version of the gangster (a slightly more down to earth superhero) as the righter of the world's wrongs. August 17, 2020 | Full Review…

In some ways, this film is a leap ahead for Affleck - it is his most visually impressive. Perhaps he should go back to original screenwriting, rather than adapting, next time and see if he can reach the dizzy heights of Good Will Hunting once more. July 12, 2020 | Full Review…

Affleck continues to showcase his talents as a director. The film is slick and stylish, with some great individual shots and scenes ... Unfortunately, his skill behind the camera can't fix the averageness of the plot. July 3, 2020 | Full Review…
