Trailer
Why watch this film?
The era of Prohibition in the United States (1920-1933) has been the subject of various cinematic masterpieces, from the original 1932 'Scarface' to Sergio Leone's 'Once Upon a Time in America' or Brian De Palma's 'Untouchables'. Although based on Dennis Lehane's acclaimed homonymous novel (author of other great novels adapted for the screen such as 'Mystic River' or 'Shutter Island'), 'Live By Night' does not manage to belong to such a select club. As he did with 'Argo', Ben Affleck stars in, writes and directs this film version, although with less exciting results in terms of narrative, even if it is visually very well achieved. The solid performances of the star-studded cast, which includes Elle Fanning, Brendan Gleeson, Chris Cooper, Zoe Saldana and Sienna Miller; may be enough to keep your attention on this period crime drama, but there are undoubtedly better alternatives within the genre.

From the same director
Argo
'Argo' succeeds in combining the tension of an important international political event with humor and the behind-the-scenes of Hollywood movie production during a time when the industry was still recovering from dark times. A perfect entertainment for those interested in the 1970s, espionage, or the behind-the-scenes of filmmaking.
Air
Biographical sports drama directed by Ben Affleck (Argo, with performances from Matt Damon, Viola Davis, Chris Tucker, Jason Bateman and Affleck himself. Air: The Story Behind the Brand is, as its title suggests, the story of how a struggling Nike was able to attract Michael Jordan to the historic deal that gave rise to today's million-dollar Air Jordan sneaker line. In the director's chair, Affleck shows undeniable skill in extracting an interesting and even humorous story from an anecdote that doesn't deal with much more than executives trying to close a coveted contract. Michael Jordan himself - absent for practically the entire movie - is portrayed as a mythical figure, drawing greater attention to the ordinary men and women of the story.
Action
Spy Kids: Armageddon
A soft reboot of the famous children's action franchise Spy Kids, once again led by the director of the originals, Robert Rodriguez. In Spy Kids: Armageddon, the plot is the classic one: two kids must save their secret agent parents by becoming spies themselves to confront the villain and save the world with the wildest and most extravagant gadgets. Nothing out of this world: it's innocent family entertainment that you'll enjoy if you liked the original films.
Expend4bles
