It is very hard to make a good crime/drama film especially on gangsters. First turkey by Ben Affleck, the director. If he can't get it right then those who are trying to make similar films need to drop the idea. That Fonzo film by Trank starring Hardy is going to be grilled by critics and has zero boxoffice chances. After that film Trank will disappear into oblivion if he already hasn't after Fant4stic. My suggestion do a 1M-5M horror film blumhouse style as your next project.

So the main character starts at age 19? Seems like a mistake for Ben to cast himself for that role. 

reminds me of Paul Thomas Anderson talking about casting boogie nights. these actors need to know their age range.

 

Quote

Burt was someone that I was thinking of when I was writing it, and then Warren Beatty read it and called me and said, “I think I want to be in this.” We talked for a couple of weeks until ultimately he decided against it. I started to figure out that Warren really wanted to play Dirk Diggler. “You don’t really want to play Jack Horner. You want to be the kid in this movie.” He said, “Yeah.”

I hope you're right but is better to wait for the reviews.

Not really.  There are more than enough signs here that Live By Night is going to be very, very good.  I've posted them here the past few months.  

 

Starts off with 4 rottens to 1 fresh on RT.
