Each year when my Bfca ballot arrives I stop in my tracks, stumped, when I get to "Young Performer". Categories that aren't Oscar correlative are often trickier.

Oh dear. How uneasy I feel..."

That's not because you're free of predicting (anyone trying to predict with their own ballot really ought to find a new profession -- criticism: ur not doing it right) but because it's a subsection of acting you probably haven't been discussing at all. You suddenly remember that you need to have been considering it with as much seriousness as you have made your other selections.

I imagine that Ellar Coltrane, the now 20 year old star of Boyhood, will be tough to beat since this category is for the 21 and under set. But even if the category were adjusted downward to 17 and younger (which we strongly support as a rule change -because it's always weird when an adult...

★★☆☆☆Considering the talent involved, you'd be forgiven for thinking that The Family (2013) would make for a couple of hours of passable entertainment. Sadly, this new crime thriller (with supposed comedic twists) - starring Bobby De Niro, Michelle Pfeiffer and Tommy Lee Jones, written and directed by Frenchman Luc Besson and produced by Martin Scorsese (we know) - falls way short of expectations. For their own protection New York Mafia linchpin Fred Blake (De Niro) and his wife Maggie (Pfeiffer) - along with their children Warren (John D'Leo) and Belle (Dianna Agron) - are sent to live out their lives in a sleepy French town under a witness protection programme.

Director: Luc Besson; Screenwriters: Luc Besson, Michael Caleo; Starring: Robert De Niro, Michelle Pfeiffer, Dianna Agron, John D'Leo, Tommy Lee Jones; Running time: 111 mins; Certificate: 15

Comedy doesn't come much lazier than this 'effort' starring Robert De Niro in one of those roles that makes you shake your head in mourning for the immense talent squandered. As is his wont in recent years, De Niro sends up the tough guy persona that made him an icon, this time as a Brooklyn mobster shipped to rural France in an ostentatious gesture by the Witness Protection Programme.

Giovanni Manzoni has a $20 million contract on his head and the rest of his family are in the firing line, too. As wife Maggie, Michelle Pfeiffer is fun to watch in brassy blonde mode and certainly, she shows more signs of life than her co-star. Another highlight is John D'Leo as their son, a junior wise-guy...

Film: "Malavita"; Cast: Robert De Niro, Michelle Pfeiffer, Tommy Lee Jones, Dianna Agron, John D'Leo, Vincent Pastore, Joseph Perrino, Paul Borghese, Jimmy Palumbo and Kresh Navakovic; Director: Luc Besson; Rating: **1/2

Billed as an action comedy and adapted from Tonino Benacquista's novel, director Luc Besson's film suffers from an identity crisis. Released elsewhere as "The Family", here in India, the film is called "Malavita". And if you were to ask, what's in a name? Well...

Well, the film gets its name after the faithful canine, which the family loses in a bloody fight.

But "Malavita" is not the dog's story. Unless it denotes, that every mobster leads a dog's life!

This is the tale of mobster Giovanni.

We're the Millers…er…the Manzonis…er…the Blakes. In this dark action-comedy from director Luc Besson (Taken, Transporter), Mafia boss Giovanni Manzoni (Robert De Niro) enters the Witness Protection Program after ratting out his former mob associates. Adopting the name Fred Blake, he and his wife, Maggie (Michelle Pfeiffer), and two children (Dianna Agron, John D'Leo) relocate to a small, sleepy town in France. FBI agent Robert Stansfield (Tommy Lee Jones) tries to keep the family in line and on the Dl, but the Blakes blow their own cover with their violent criminal ways. Here's an offer you can't refuse—get more killer info about The Family: 1. Déjà Vu All Over...

FilmDistrict's Insidious: Chapter 2 directed by James Wan, starring Rose Byrne and Patrick Wilson, topped the box office easily with $41 million. The horror sequel posted the second best September debut of all time behind Sony's Hotel Transylvania which made $42.5 million, and topped Sweet Home Alabama's $35.6 million. This is massive jump from the opening weekend gross posted by the first Insidious of $13.2 million back on April 1st, 2011. That film topped out at $54 million domestically while the sequel should come close to the $100 million mark if all keeps going like this. Insidious 2 opened in 3,049 theaters, averaging a solid $13,463 per theater. Relativity Media's The Family starring Robert De Niro, Michelle Pfeiffer, Tommy Lee Jones, Dianna Agron and John D'Leo, debuted in second place with a decent $14.5 million from 3,091 theaters, averaging $4,691. Luc Besson directs the comedy crime pic.

A favorite cable television series in recent years for me has been USA Network's In Plain Sight about U.S. Marshals charged with relocating and protecting federal witnesses. The dramatization of people who must adjust to a new life with a new identity is engaging and thought provoking. How does a person not only leave behind their friends and relations, but also change their occupation or interests to avoid detection?

Based on by French crime fiction author Tonino Benacquista, writer/director Luc Besson's The Family provides darkly humorous insight of a former Mafioso and his family's existence within a federal witness program. When extortion and illegal activities are all you've known for your entire life, it's not easy to adjust to a different lifestyle -- even in the idyllic setting of the French Riviera or the historic and slower-paced Normandy.

Robert De Niro portrays Fred Blake/Giovanni Manzoni, who...

Robert De Niro playing a former mobster is pretty badass in itself, but add Michelle Pfeiffer, Dianna Agron and John D'Leo as more-than-capable family members and the Blake family (they originally are the Manzonis, but they're in the Witness Protection Program) is one group you definitely don't want to mess with. The Family arrives in theaters this weekend (get tickets here). The latest film from Luc Besson is executive produced by Martin Scorsese, features a cranky (does he have any other mode) Tommy Lee Jones and plenty of f-bombs and mob violence. We decided to see what other badass movie families are out there that could give the Blakes a run for their money. First, a taste of De Niro and the Blake family: That's one family you don't want to...

"The Family" is described as a dark action comedy, and therein lies the problem.The ensemble film, which opens today, never finds the right tone. It's disturbing and thrilling and funny, but rarely at the right times or in the right amounts.Robert De Niro plays Fred Blake (originally Giovanni Manzoni), a New York gangster in the Witness Protection Program for snitching on the mob. Michelle Pfeiffer plays his long-suffering but loving wife Maggie, Dianna Agron his teen daughter Belle, and John D'Leo his son Warren. Tommy Lee Jones plays Stanfield, a FBI agent who is just as tired from moving from location to location as the family is.The Blakes end up in Normandy, France, and culture clash ensues. The Brooklyn-based Italian-American Blakes have a hard time integrating, often resorting to the "family" way -- aka violence and mayhem -- to get things their way.It's the over-the-top violence...

Glee's Dianna Agron and newcomer John D'Leo star as siblings in the new action-filed comedy The Family, which hits theaters today. Dianna and John also had the honor of sharing the big screen with big names Robert De Niro and Michelle Pfeiffer, who played their parents in the mob flick. Dianna told us about being "terrified" for her audition with Robert, who she affectionately referred to as "Bobby," which ended in a long embrace. She also revealed the story of her hilarious first encounter with John on set. Watch the interview for more from Dianna and John.

This Friday The Family, the latest action movie from director Luc Besson (Leon: The Professional, The Fifth Element), hits theaters around the nation. It stars Robert De Niro as an ex-Mafia boss who has to relocate his wife (Michelle Pfeiffer), daughter (Dianna Agron) and son (John D'Leo) after they're placed into the Witness Protection Program. The CIA (represented by Tommy Lee Jones) decides that a small town in France is the family's best bet of laying low, but the criminal underworld still manages to catch wind of them, and so their peaceful French village is turned into a war zone. Sounds fun, right? Wouldn't it be even more fun if you had some sweet freebies to come home to after watching that great cast and that great director make a big mess of the pristine...

Michelle Pfeiffer and Robert De Niro star as husband and wife in the new mob flick, The Family, which hits the big screen tomorrow. We got to sit down with the iconic duo to chat about the film, in which they finally got to collaborate. After starring in many of the same titles without sharing scenes, Robert and Michelle were happy to "finally" get to know each other off the red carpet. The pair also opened up about the experience of filming overseas and establishing a family dynamic on set with their young costars Dianna Agron and John D'Leo. Watch to hear more from Michelle and Robert about their suspense-filled comedy, The Family.

Luc Besson is known for his stylish shoot-'em-up films, but "The Family" features a different take on the action genre.

After Giovanni Manzoni (Robert De Niro) snitches on the New York mob, he and his family have to go into the Witness Protection Program. Unfortunately for Robert Stansfield (Tommy Lee Jones), the FBI minder assigned to keep them out of trouble, the Manzonis can't seem to stay out of it. Now known as the Blakes, Fred (De Niro), Maggie (Michelle Pfeiffer), Belle (Dianna Agron), and Warren (John D'Leo) are soon up to their old criminal ways, with action, laughs, and a little bit 'o' heartbreak following them wherever they go.

Before you hit the theater this weekend, here are 10 things to know about "The Family."

1. Don't go to this film hungry.

Maggie's home cooking is a mouth-watering affair, even though she can't always find the ripest tomatoes in France. She...

When most people conjure up an image of Dianna Agron, it's one of her in the halls of McKinley High, the fictitious school whose corridors she graced on five seasons of "Glee." The hit Fox musical-soap opera hybrid made her a household name playing Quinn Fabray, launching her into feature roles such as "I Am Number Four." For her latest work, Agron is again in the halls of academe, but this time with a decidedly darker bent.

In Luc Besson's "The Family," Agron plays Belle, the teenage daughter of a mob family relocated to the rural French area of Normandy while under witness protection. She may have a new name to shield her from the enemies of her father (played by Robert De Niro), but she can't suppress the clever and brutal instincts that come from years of growing up the offspring of a hitman. Belle manages to rustle...

In the dark action comedy "The Family," a Mafia boss and his family are relocated to a sleepy town in France under the Witness Protection Program after snitching on the mob.Despite Agent Stansfield's (Tommy Lee Jones) best efforts to keep them in line, Fred Blake (Robert De Niro), his wife Maggie (Michelle Pfeiffer) and their children, Belle (Dianna Agron) and Warren (John D'Leo), can't help resorting to old habits by handling their problems the "family" way.Chaos ensues as their former Mafia cronies try to track them down and scores are settled in the unlikeliest of settings, in this subversively funny film by Luc Besson."The Family" open this Friday, September 13. To celebrate the film's opening, toofab is giving one (1) lucky winner a prize pack including a pair of Ray Bay Sunglasses (essential whether you're in or out of the Witness Protection Program), a branded apron and brass knuckle mug.

The mob genre takes a turn for the funny in the Robert De Niro and Michelle Pfeiffer crime comedy "The Family" this weekend, while James Wan's ("The Conjuring") horror sequel "Insidious: Chapter 2" aims to scare you out of your seats.

Luc Besson's ("Leon: The Professional," "The Fifth Element") "The Family" stars Robert De Niro as the head of the Manzoni crime family -- who could play it better? -- who move to France after entering the witness protection program. While a CIA agent (Tommy Lee Jones) works to keep them in line, the family, including Michelle Pfeiffer, Dianna Agron (TV's "Glee"), and John D'Leo, can't help but revert to their violent ways. Once a mobster, always a mobster.

In "Insidious: Chapter 2," the follow-up to 2011's surprise hit "Insidious," the Lambert family is finally reunited after their son Dalton (Ty Simpkins) is rescued from the ghostly Further.

Robert De Niro and Michelle Pfeiffer may play ruthless Mafiosi in their new crime comedy "The Family," but at the film's world premiere Tuesday night, they looked like they couldn't hurt a fly.

Pfeiffer, who plays Maggie Blake, wife and mother of a mob family, was looking flashy in a purple velvet suit on the red carpet alongside co-stars De Niro, Dianna Agron ("Glee"), and John D'Leo.

"The Family," co-written and directed by Luc Besson ("Leon: The Professional," "The Fifth Element"), stars De Niro as Giovanni Manzoni, a mob boss who moves his wife and kids to France (and changes their last name to Blake) under the witness protection program. But this seemingly sweet family is far from sweet, and when their violent tendencies come out, it threatens to blow their cover.

The red carpet became a gangster affair as Jean Reno ("Leon: The Professional"), Mafia movie favorite Vincent Pastore,...

Robert De Niro in the part of the mobster is nothing new. But Robert De Niro in the part of a snitch who ratted out his fellow bad dudes and has to move himself and his very New York family all the way to France to ensure their safety, well you can't say you've seen that before.

From the man who brought you Leon the Professional and The Fifth Element, Luc Besson, comes The Family, a crime-comedy that finds Giovanni (De Niro) and Maggie Manzoni (Michelle Pfeiffer) along with their tough-as-nails kids (Dianna Agron, John D'Leo) following the advice of CIA agent Stansfield (Tommy Lee Jones) and end up in a sleepy French village where it seems, trouble will find them.

We were recently in New York to chat with the A-list cast about pretending to be a family and what happens when you cross the mob.

Watch our interview...

In The Family, Dianna Agron and John D'Leo play Belle and Warren Blake, scions of an expatriate mafia family living in France under the protection of the U.S. government. Not unlike their parents (played by Robert De Niro and Michelle Pfeiffer), Belle and Warren have a difficult time adjusting to "normal" life in a foreign country - especially since they can't seem to help themselves when it comes to acting out. I sat down with Ms. Agron and Mr. D'Leo to talk about their awesome on-screen parents, their awkward first meeting on set and working with director Luc Besson.

The Family opens in theaters this weekend, and if you thought it was going to be just another Robert De Niro-led mob movie, the latest red-band trailer offers a better look at what the movie is really about. Yes, we're going to get a good dose of mob violence, but some of it is going to come from De Niro's character taking a nostalgic trip down memory lane. From this latest trailer, it looks as though the latter half of the film will focus more on present-day issues facing his character as he becomes a mob target with a price on his head. The film costars Michelle Pfeiffer, Diana Argon, John D'Leo and Tommy Lee Jones and is directed by Luc Besson. Martin Scorsese executive produced the film about an ex-mafioso and his family currently under the FBI's witness...

Robert De Niro and Michelle Pfeiffer star in new mob comedy, The Family. Here's the red-band trailer...

Robert De Niro is back in the world of gangsters, but not quite in the way that many of us were most hoping for. Notwithtstanding the prominence of the Martin Scorsese executive producer credit in this trailer, The Family is actually a comedy, and quite a violent one by the looks of it. That accounts for the fact that this is a red band trailer, so don't watch it if you're young and impressionable.

The best thing about The Family, from what we can see so far, is the cast. Robert De Niro stars, but Michelle Pfeiffer in another comedy role is a very welcome. Tommy Lee Jones, Dianna Agron and John D'Leo also feature, and the film is directed by Luc Besson, who co-wrote the screenplay too.

Relativity Media wants to introduce you to the Manzoni clan with five character posters for The Family.

Writer-director Luc Besson (The Fifth Element) is turning to a life of crime but keeping it in the family with his latest feature effort.

Relativity was a little lazy with these new character posters for Luc Besson's The Family (fka Malavita) as they simply took the five elements they used to create the official poster and separated them into their own individual one sheets. Well, at least for three of the five images. The posters feature Robert De Niro as the Killer Dad, Michelle Pfeiffer as the Bad Mother, John D'Leo as the Young Gun, Dianna Agron as the Mobgirl Next Door and a German Shepherd as Hitman's Best Friend. Described as a darkly comedic action film, The Family is the story of the Manzonis, a notorious mafia family who gets relocated to Normandy, France under the witness protection program.

Moving to another country can take its toll on a family, especially a mafia clan from New York trying to start a new life in France, as seen in the latest international trailer for The Family, which is still going by Malavita overseas. The Manzoni family (Robert De Niro, Michelle Pfeiffer, John D'Leo and Dianna Agron) don't exactly blend into their surroundings very well, as they can't quite seem to let go of their violent past.

It's been another exciting week for movie trailers, as the final action-packed Man of Steel promo was released before the film finally hits cinemas next week. Fans of Doctor Who's Karen Gillan will also be pleased with the arrival of the trailer for romantic comedy Not Another Happy Ending, and there are teasers for Prisoner and The Family.

Digital Spy goes through the week's hottest new trailers below...

'Man of Steel': Henry Cavill's Superman in final new trailer

With the anticipated release of Man of Steel inching closer, the final explosive trailer shows Henry Cavill's Superman battling against General Zod (Michael Shannon) with a backdrop of destruction behind them. Jor-El (Russell Crowe) is also on hand to offer his son a well-needed pep talk: "You can save them. You can save all of them." We also get quick glimpses of a young Clark Kent with...

When in doubt, Hollywood knows precisely what to do: Put Robert De Niro in a mobster movie and watch the master work. And pretty much any mob film will do, any role even. And, then, you know what? He'll make that piece look slick and fresh and hilarious and devastating 'cause that's what the Robert De Niro does.

Exhibit A: This first trailer for his Parisian — cue the snails and striped shirts and guttural grunts — mafioso endeavor, "The Family."

Sure, there's the equally indomitable and still so gorgeous Michelle Pfeiffer in there, too, pulling out some duplicitous mob wife moves like no one else can (eat your heart out, Carmela Soprano), and the one and only Tommy Lee Jones is busy being some kinda wise-crackin' copper in the film too ... but at the heart of it, it's totally De Niro.

In Luc Besson's "The Family," his character is a made man,...

"There was a time when I had it all. People would ask me, 'What was it like, being untouchable?'" says Robert De Niro over the strains of "Can't You Hear Me Knocking?" in the new trailer for "The Family." "The question they really should have asked was, 'What happens when it's all over?'"

Well, "The Family," a mob comedy that actually looks pretty great. Executive produced by Martin Scorsese and directed by Luc Besson, "The Family" (previously known as "Malavita," the title of the novel on which its based), stars De Niro as a Giovanni Manzoni, a former mobster turned federal informant who gets moved to France with his family by the Witness Protection Program. (The feds are embodied here by Tommy Lee Jones, doing his Tommy Lee Jones thing.) Culture clashes ensue, as do further attempts on the life of Manzoni, his wife (Michelle Pfeiffer) and kids...

In between bouts of being "Taken," Luc Besson found the time to write and direct mob comedy "The Family." Here, Robert De Niro and Michelle Pfeiffer play a married couple in the witness protection program who, along with their children, can't seem to stay away from crime and mayhem. Their put-upon CIA agent, played by Tommy Lee Jones, has to uproot and replant the Manzonis every 90 days, given the shenanigans they get up to wherever they go.

Finally, the family ends up in France, under the name Blake. Of course, that doesn't stop Maggie (Pfeiffer) and Fred (De Niro) from getting into trouble; Fred beats the crap out of their plumber, and Maggie blows up the supermarket when the employees there are rude to her. The apples don't fall far from the tree, either. Their daughter (Dianna Agron) is quite handy with a tennis racquet, but she'll make do with...

Catch the new unique, and very solid first trailer for The Family, starring Robert De Niro, Michelle Pfeiffer, Tommy Lee Jones, Dianna Agron and John D'Leo in the Martin Scorsese executive-produced film. In the last 2 days we've had new images, then the poster and now a fresh trailer - we aren't complaining, this looks excellent.
