With Robert De Niro, Tommy-Lee Jones, and Michelle Pfeiffer, you’re sure to get a tour-de-force of talent, and they don’t disappoint.<\/p>\n
The Manzoni family, part of a mafia organisation, are relocated by the FBI to Normandy, France, as part of a witness protection deal. Old habits die hard, and Giovanni soon gets up to his usual tricks.<\/p>\n
The Family<\/a> is full of talent, well written, and superbly executed. It doesn’t take itself too seriously. This, combined with the talented cast, provide the humour. At it’s core, there is a great story, and an interesting angle on a story that has been told many times in other films.<\/p>\n The Family is one that will appeal to everyone, and a fun tale of a family and their struggles.<\/p>\n The disc is encoded at a high bitrate, and can scale via software to HD. Sound make superb use of the surrounds, and expand the on-screen action by providing a wide and immersive stage for the sound design.<\/p>\n There are no bonus features on the disc, which is a bit disappointing, as it would be nice to have a commentary, or some behind the scenes.<\/p>\n The Family is available now, to purchase, in South Africa.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Film With Robert De Niro, Tommy-Lee Jones, and Michelle Pfeiffer, you’re sure to get a tour-de-force of talent, and they don’t disappoint.
