Review of Live by Night (2016) by Renato T — 19 Jan 2017

I am very deeply dissapointed that this film so poorly portrays Tampa and Ybor City. It wasn't even shot in Tampa and was recreated entirely inaccurately in Georgia. Not sure why they had dirt roads when Ybor city clearly had brick roads and street cars and was much more elegant than portrayed.

Aside from Ybor City being poorly recreated, I feel the movie was a bit too slow and didn't highlight the good times, money, adequate action, or any growth in character. The movie poster tag line, "Joe was once a good man", was not a good one, and never even showed Joe as a good man.
