Verity Robins Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Tayyab Torres Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Art Vandelay Why is it that every time I stumble on a violence-filled mediocrity and check on IMDb the director is Luc Besson. Everything he does is glossy, violent, profane and empty. How does he get A-listers - even these over-the-hill A-listers - to star in his movies. It's not like this mess is redeemed by comedy. It's about as witty as being buried in an Iowa cornfield. It's almost hard to believe how highly regarded Robert DeNiro once was. At this point he's been a hack longer than he was ever good.

geohaber-2 This movie doesn't know if it wants to be a comedy or a gangster suspense thriller...so it winds up being neither--a flic you can't take seriously on an any level. Every name actor--deNiro, Pfeiffer, Jones, seems to sleep-walk through it, phoning in their performance. Couldda been a contender!

mistoppi I vaguely remember when this movie was in the cinemas. I didn't go see it and I didn't even see a trailer, but I remember seeing the poster on the wall at the theater. Once it was up on Netflix, I wanted to see it.I was expecting some kind of weird mixture between crime drama and a "unusual family" comedy like the Addams Family and We're The Millers. Not the best examples but they are the first ones I can think of. The Family wasn't exactly close to my expectation. The Family is way more refreshing the way it is. Still, it's hard to say what is the main type of this film. It's partially a comedy, it's hilarious and clever and all that. But then again it seems like a deep drama, because it's about a family who is trying to adjust to the new situation, and everyone is facing their own challenges. But of course it's also a crime thriller.While it's hard to say which one of these mostly defines the movie, the thing is, the elements of all those types are used so wonderfully, that as the story goes on, it doesn't matter. The story and the characters are intriguing and it's exciting to see what is going to happen. That shows what an excellent writer Tonino Benacquista is. While I don't know the differences between his book and the screenplay by Besson and Caleo, but I'm guessing his Benacquista's writing involved a lot of the stuff I loved about this movie.The Family is intriguing, thrilling and fun. It has excellent casting and excellent writing. While this movie doesn't really stand out, it's not astounding in anyway, it's still a good film and definitely worth seeing.

Muri da This film kept me entertained all the way through, which is not a common experience for me.The acting was great and the cinematography was beautiful. The story- very compelling and thought provoking. If you like films that make you think, relate deeply to real life situations and explore those issues we don't talk too much about, then this is the film for you. 10/10 Actions have consequences and this film explores the long-term repercussions of temporary arrogant gain.If you like Robert De Niro, you will love this film, he portrays the character beautifully.Gripping, entertaining and a solid film.It was not what I expected at first out of the film but it is a decent thriller, better than my initial expectation.IF you enjoy thrillers that are realistic then this is a great experience, you won't regret.
