Live by Night is a solid, interesting but sprawling and often overwrought gangster picture.

That speaks well of Affleck -- the screenwriter -- in demonstrating maturity by offering up more nuanced characters than we generally expect from the average gangster movie. Still, that maturity doesn't mitigate the shortcomings of the film's star.

One of the film's final set pieces is so wonderfully staged that it reminds you what skill Affleck has with the camera. Next time, he should perhaps confine himself behind it.

Live By Night is a far better film than it's been given credit for.

And 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

You probably won't turn it off when it comes on cable. But the material needs to be bigger, more momentous, as well as more intimate.
