The Family
It's meet the 'Blakes' in director/writer Luc Besson's humorous tale of a mob family in the witness protection program relocated to Normandy, France and trying to blend in. Robert De Niro & Michelle Pfeiffer head this family with anger management issues. Old habits are hard to break as they revert to their 'wise guys' ways. Dianna Agron plays the daughter and Tommy Lee Jones is the FBI agent in charge of their safety. What begins as a dark comedy ends in a blazing gun battle. Besson should just stick with his action films like the "Transporter" & "Taken". The comedy is only amusing, unless you find overkill brutality hilarious. This predictable film is rated 'R' for violence and language.
Alien gives it 2 ½ "mob mentality" stars out of 4.
