- Joe Coughlin is the son of a Boston cop living during prohibition. He would fall in love with a girl who belongs to a gangster. He would ask her to runaway with him and to get money he tries to rob a bank but something goes wrong and some cops are killed. Joe would be caught and is about to be charged when his father intervened and got him a short sentence. When he gets out, needing a job, he goes to another gangster who offers him the position of overseeing his interests in Tampa. And Joe accepts. And Joe does a good job and he gets involved with a Cuban. Eventually he finds himself having to deal with the KKK, thing is he needs to tread carefully because the head man is the brother in law of the Sheriff. And when a thing he was planning that was suppose to net his boss a lot of money goes bust, he faces severe consequences.
- A group of Boston-bred gangsters set up shop in balmy Florida during the Prohibition era, facing off against the competition and the Ku Klux Klan.
- In a theme that goes back at least to James Cagney in The Roaring 20s, Ben Affleck plays a disillusioned war veteran who having seen the promises of a just world and peace not coming to fruition has decided since he's learned the trade of killing decides to make use of it by becoming a criminal. It's hard for Affleck who produced, directed, and stars in Live By Night as he is the son of a police chief in Boston.<br/><br/>He gets caught up in a turf war between rival gangsters Remo Girone and Robert Glenister after a narrow escape from death and a prison term goes to work for Girone who asks him to organize in Florida and he chooses Tampa as his base. Affleck has to deal with other gangsters, the Ku Klux Klan, and holy roller revivalists and in the end there's one big shootout with his crew and his former Boston associates.<br/><br/>Three women have prominent roles here, Elle Fanning who was degraded in Hollywood and then becomes an Aimee Semple McPherson revivalist, Zoe Saldana daughter of a local Cuban rum importer who with Affleck breaks all kinds of racist taboos in Dixie Florida when she gets involved with him, and Sienna Miller who was originally involved with both Affleck and Glenister at the same time.<br/><br/>The ambiance of both 20s Boston and 20s/30s Tampa is well done here. Affleck also gets good performances out of his entire ensemble and take note of Chris Cooper as a redneck sheriff and Fanning's father, Cooper's brother-in-law is Matthew Maher whose bigotry as both the local Klan Kleagle is frightening and repellent, Chris Messina as Affleck's right hand guy, and Max Casella as the mutt son of Girone who has it in for Affleck. What he lacks in brains he makes up for in bile.<br/><br/>Director Affleck also got actor Affleck to give a great performance in the lead. Live By Night is an old fashioned gangster flick with some current themes.
- It comes down to Ben Affleck just not being a good enough director for such a movie. Well, at least not yet. There are so many things that are missing here, so many lost opportunities. When you see things that happen in this movie, it should get you involved, make you care about these characters. But, you don't.<br/><br/>It's like looking at a good, but inexperienced cook, at work. He knows how to cook, he knows the main ingredients, does his job, but... it's the little things, the tricks of the trade, the seasoning, if you will, that's not there. Thus the end result is OK, but it's not really good.<br/><br/>Although it is a rather different take on it, it's the same basic plot as "Scarface", with the same general dynamics. In that comparison one can see the main flaws of "Live by Night". Ben Affleck's character is a better man than Al Pacino's, yet, by the end, you care about Al Pacino, and don't care about Ben Affleck. The final showdown in Scarface is emotionally packed, not just because of the tragic end. The final showdown of Live by Night is mostly dull, not just because of the happy ending. There are many such differences, as you compare a master chef (Brian De Palma) to a journeyman (Ben Affleck).<br/><br/>Of course, some political agenda that is being pushed here also doesn't help. Nor the usual Affleck's expressionless performance. Nor the usual lack of chemistry between him and his leading ladies. But, these things don't carry a lot of weight here, one could move past them. It's the above mentioned main problems that make this a not-really-good movie.
- Live By Night is solid enough entertainment, but it lacks the nasty edge or narrative muscularity to make it memorable.
