Boston, 1926. The '20s are roaring. Liquor is flowing, bullets are flying, and one man sets out to make his mark on the world. Prohibition has given rise to an endless network of underground distilleries, speakeasies, gangsters, and corrupt cops. Joe Coughlin, the youngest son of a prominent Boston police captain, has long since turned his back on his strict and proper upbringing. Now having graduated from a childhood of petty theft to a career in the pay of the city's most fearsome mobsters, Joe enjoys the spoils, thrills, and notoriety of being an outlaw. But life on the dark side carries a heavy price. In a time when ruthless men of ambition, armed with cash, illegal booze, and guns, battle for control, no one-neither family nor friend, enemy nor lover-can be trusted. Beyond money and power, even the threat of prison, one fate seems most likely for men like Joe: an early death. But until that day, he and his friends are determined to live life to the hilt. Joe embarks on a dizzying journey up the ladder of organized crime that takes him from the flash of Jazz Age Boston to the sensual shimmer of Tampa's Latin Quarter to the sizzling streets of Cuba. Live by Night is a riveting epic layered with a diverse cast of loyal friends and callous enemies, tough rumrunners and sultry femmes fatales, Bible-quoting evangelists and cruel Klansmen, all battling for survival and their piece of the American dream. At once a sweeping love story and a compelling saga of revenge, it is a spellbinding tour de force of betrayal and redemption, music and murder, that brings fully to life a bygone era when sin was cause for celebration and vice was a national virtue.
Leave your thoughts about Live by Night.
| Boston HeraldJames VerniereStylish, entertaining, with well-staged violence, if not original or great. |
| Reeling ReviewsLaura CliffordIf the film plays, as it did to me, as one full season of 'Boardwalk Empire' crammed into two hours, note that [novelist] Lehane was a writer for the HBO series...Affleck's adaptation weakens Lehane's story instead of strengthening it. |
| Zaki's CornerZaki HasanAlthough Live by Night has the standard two-hour runtime, it somehow manages to feel both too languid and too rushed. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzAn unfocused but stylish old-fashioned Warner brothers gangster film. |
| Movies in FocusNiall BrowneTommy guns, bootleggers, fedoras and molls - Ben Affleck's Live By Night has everything you would want from a 1930s gangster drama. |
| Rolling StonePeter TraversThere’s enough here for half a dozen movies, and you can feel the severe overcrowding. But you can't keep your eyes off it. |
| The A.V. ClubJesse HassengerThe smoothness of the movie’s individual sequences bumps up against narrative raggedness, as Affleck labors to compress a sprawling, novel-ready narrative. |
| SFistRain JokinenAnd while the story is sprawling, covering a decade, and filled with beautiful settings, costumes, and stars, it just never comes together to be the kind of epic crime drama it's emulating |
| Matt's Movie ReviewsMatthew PejkovicA sprawling gangster movie epic that demonstrates Affleck's deft hand at tense, action filled filmmaking, and presenting characters in constant conflict with who they are and the environment they have cornered themselves into. |
| NY1-TVNeil RosenMaybe it doesn't quite gel into a perfect film, but it's still worth watching as the storyline and fate of the main character do manage to grab you, along with several captivating scenes. |
