"Family Business" looked like a sure-thing with its star-power of Dustin Hoffman, Sean Connery, and Matthew Broderick.  However, this is a very bad film that wants to be good but never does come together the way it should. The three aforementioned actors star as three generations of a family who go on a big heist that goes terribly wrong.  Sidney Lumet's direction is never clear and this, more than anything else, grounds "Family Business".  2 stars out of 5.
