LIVE BY NIGHT from WARNER BROS. PICTURES. Ben Affleck stars and directs in this period piece which will open in U.S., theaters Jan. 13, 2016. I enjoy modern actors starring in throwbacks of stories from the past. Johnny Depp portrayed John Dillinger in "Public Enemies" back in 2009. I have that on Blu-Ray.
Warner Bros. Pictures says, "Live by Night - is set in the roaring `20s when Prohibition hasn’t
stopped the flow of booze in an underground network of gangster-run
speakeasies. The opportunity to gain power and money is there for any
man with enough ambition and nerve and Joe Coughlin, the son of the
Boston Police Superintendent, long ago turned his back on his strict
upbringing for the spoils of being an outlaw. But even among criminals
there are rules and Joe breaks a big one: crossing a powerful mob boss
by stealing his money and his moll. The fiery affair ends in tragedy,
setting Joe on a path of revenge, ambition, romance and betrayal that
propels him out of Boston and up the ladder of Tampa’s steamy
rum-running underworld."
