New LIVE BY NIGHT Clips, Images and Posters

"Live By Night" is the latest directorial effort from Ben Affleck ("Argo"), and his second adaptation of a Dennis Lehane best-seller following the 2007 film "Gone Baby Gone", which starred his brother Casey Affleck.

Affleck also wrote the script and stars in the lead role as Joe Coughlin, the son of a Boston Police Superintendent and World War I veteran who chose the path of an outlaw. When he crosses a powerful mob boss by stealing his mistress, his whole world comes crashing down, leading him down a path of revenge that propels him out of Boston and up the ladder of Tampa's steamy rum-running underworld.

The film also stars Chris Messina, Elle Fanning, Brendan Gleeson, Chris Cooper, Miguel, Sienna Miller, Zoe Saldana, Titul Welliver and Robert Glenister.

"Live By Night" opened in limited release on December 25th, 2016, and expanded nationwide on January 13th.

In Theaters: SILENCE, PATRIOTS DAY, LIVE BY NIGHT, SLEEPLESS

The new year starts off with a full roster of four wide releases. First we have Martin Scorsese's "Silence" and Peter Berg's "Patriots Day", which are expanding nationwide after spending some time in limited release to qualify for the awards season. Unfortunately, neither film managed to score any big nominations, but they are certainly two of 2016's best films.

We also have Ben Affleck's Prohibition-era crime drama "Live By Night" and the action thriller "Sleepless" starring Jamie Foxx. These two have been getting a pretty harsh reception from critics, and Affleck's film in particular is proving to be a disappointment after a lot of hype.
