HOLLYWOOD, CA – Oscar Award winner Ben Affleck is taking over Tampa’s underworld in the Roaring 20s in the final cut live-by-night-ben-affleck-movie-entertainment-news-jrl-chartstrailer for “Live by Night.” [2017].

“It’s the Roaring `20s and Prohibition hasn’t stopped the flow of booze in an underground network of gangster-run speakeasies. The opportunity to gain power and money is there for any man with enough ambition and nerve, and Joe Coughlin, the son of the Boston Police superintendent, long ago turned his back on his strict upbringing for the spoils of being an outlaw. But even among criminals there are rules, and Joe breaks a big one: crossing a powerful mob boss by stealing his money and his moll.”

A minute into the 1st trailer of “Live by Night” [2017], opens with Affleck’s (Joe Coughlin) character motorboating amid the placid Florida waters and saying in a voiceover, “Powerful men don’t have to be cruel.”
