A box office dud on the scale of GIGLI, LIVE BY NIGHT once again proves Ben Affleck's star power is overrated. He wrote the screenplay; he directed the film; and he helped produce it. He never should have cast himself in the lead role. He's too old. Most of the movie he seems stoned from whatever diet pills he's on. But beyond the glaring error of his casting of himself looms the question, Why another Prohibition Era gangster picture? Why? We have seen all these characters before, and done much better. Nothing is new here.
