This
film will not become a highlight
of Ben Affleck's directorial or acting career — with its plot and absence
of significant character development, Live By Night is a
disjointed mess.
Duplicity Julia Roberts and Clive Owen are charismatic, as a pair
of former government spies who've gone to work in the corporate world, but the
film, written and directed by Tony Gilroy, is a confusing,
disjointed mess that lands in an unsatisfying place.
