  LIVE BY NIGHT.
  hi guys now i know this film is not officially out yet but i speak to so many people who watch films before their official release some how i thought i would ask, now i am luke warm about ben affleck , when he is involved in the production of a film. either writing or directing ( gone baby gone. good will hunting ) they are usually pretty good but when he is just acting he has made some real tat. but back to gone baby gone. the denis lehane book which he directed and was pretty good well. live by night is again by denis lehan and again in boston. ( trouble is i can never understand their speech )so i was looking forward to it. i want to catch it early so any reviews would be appreciated.

  Hey St John. Clocked this available earlier, did a little research..you know, try and get a feel of what the masses were saying about it. The reviews are certainly not consistent but thought "Fuck it, why not, will give it a chance". Will aim to give it a looksee this weekend + will seek to post a review before the weekends out.

  Apologies Stjohn66, took a little longer to get kround to watching this than i predicted but, good news, i have now watched the film..however the bad news is that, in my opinion, the film was crap and as such i didnt make it much past the hour mark before turning it off. Featuring a cast of wholly unlikeable characters (not entertainingly unlikeable either, just annoying). This is a dull, plodding affair that for me didnt seem all that well scripted or driven. There's the occassional spattering of mild action but not enough to save this (and almost not enough to keep me awake..it was touch and go). Sorry but cant think of a single reason to recommend this film.

  You are more than welcome stjohn66. Dvds are still expensive enough to kick yourself following a duff purchase..aim to pprevent others making unwarrented or dubious movie purchases where i can. Of course we all have different tastes and i try to be objective, lokking foor any redeeming qualities in even the worst films but sadly, with thiis, im drawing a blank on that front. Given how quick some films seem to be materialising on sky (or the equivalent) following the dvd release, iod recommend waiting for that (assuming you have sky oor similar).
