It's so-so - the fun is watching Robert De Niro and Tommy Lee Jones together - De Niro is a mobster trying to go straight (not very well) while the rest of his family tries to adjust to this "new" life in Normandy. There are some good points (and an excellent nod to Goodfellas) and the end is exciting, but there's not enough meat here to make it much better than an appetizer.

3/4

They is a goodfellas cameo in this movie and it is one of the best cameos ever.the family. this movie is like killers meets RED but with a family mix in. the acting is good and the ending to me felt a little bit too rush.

I love movies having to do with the mafia in any genre. That being said, I was looking forward to "The Family". It has this beautiful cast where everyone pulls their weight. There was not one character I didn't enjoy. The problem with this movie is that it has no idea what kind of movie it wants to be. It's torn between being a dark comedy and a trauma drama; with a little action thrown in. They had so much to work with but it suffers from poor direction.
