Met Malavita (in de rest van de wereld en op IMDb bekend als The Family) toont Luc Besson dat hij als regisseur een stuk beter is dan wanneer hij films enkel produceert. Niet dat deze maffia-actie-komedie met Robert De Niro en Michelle Pfeiffer nou de film van het jaar is, maar hij is wel erg vermakelijk. Al zal ie het thuis op de buis net zo goed, zo niet beter doen dan in de bioscoop.…

2. Movie Review: The Family (2013) - ComicsOnline
17 sep 2013 · The family has a genuinely interesting story that remains somewhat untold when the film ends. The lack of character development is a bit troubling.

11. Review: The Family (2013) - Next Projection
16 sep 2013 · The film follows “Fred Blake” (Robert DeNiro), a former Mob boss who is in Witness Protection with his wife Maggie (Michelle Pfeiffer) and two teenage kids.
Amongst cinephiles, there is the idea of the "lifetime pass" when it comes to different directors: that a director makes a film so incredible, that if they go years, or even decades, without producing something as good or even close, that one film is enough to keep said director in a film lover's good graces. For example, Apollo 13 is enough for me to give Ron Howard a lifetime pass. The same can be said for French filmmaker Luc Besson with Léon: The Professional. While he's made his living in the last decade with producing the Taken and Transporter films, his tale of a hit man taking in an orphaned girl who wants to avenge her younger brother from the crooked DEA agent who slaughtered her family was one of the best films of 1994. It launched his career state-side, gave Jean Reno a much deserved starring role and introduced us to Natalie Portman who grew up in front of our eyes to become one of the best leading ladies in film today. Because of this, we waited with baited breath for a follow up film with equal power. Instead we got diminishing returns. From The Fifth Element to Angel-A (I still haven't seen The Adventures of Adele Blanc-Sec), the enjoyability factor of Besson's films had gradually declined. So imagine my surprise when I saw his latest, The Family, and was pleasantly surprised by it. While not containing the emotional punch Léon gave us, this is Besson's most enjoyable and highly entertaining film in an extremely long time.
