The Family (2013)
The life of a Mafia boss and his family, who have a very bad history, has been changed, as they deal with a detective, who helps them move into a new calm town in France far away from the criminal world, where they begin to give up their bad habits gradually, but incidents come to climax, when they begin to return to their old ways in solving problems.

As cinema, it's an interesting experiment. As a movie, it's a bloody mess.

The Family is a pretty uneven film, lurching from comedy to violence to sentiment, but it's best when it sticks in the realm of flat-out farce.

The casting of Robert De Niro as an ex-Mafioso hiding in witness protection is witty in only the silliest, most superficial way. It's a joke with its own tinny, built-in laugh track.

For anyone willing to brave some tonal inconsistencies, its rewards are real.

Those excited for the return of Besson to the action-comedy game likely will come away disappointed from this jumbled, visually bland effort.
September 13, 2013
This is a deliberately off-kilter, cheerfully violent, hit-and-miss effort with just enough moments of inspiration to warrant a recommendation.
September 13, 2013
A movie with a PG brain and a NC-17 body count, unsuitable for audiences of any age.

Full of tone deaf humor and gratuitous violence, The Family marks a miscalculated step for an otherwise fine filmmaker.

De Niro's deadpan humour suits a garden burial perfectly, but we just don't see enough of how we really want him to be.
September 13, 2013
A black comedy that doesn't begin to jell but has a sweetheart of a cast and the odd diverting moment.

The movie is a curious mess, but the cast is having a grand old time.

An all-star cast fails to rise above bloody japes and heavy-handed humor in this tale of a renegade Mob family hiding in a small French town.
