Movie: Lawless
Genre: action
Synopsis: Set during
prohibition, the Bondurant brothers run a burgeoning moonshine business.
Forrest (Tom Hardy) is the oldest and the leader and is legendary for his
toughness His second in command is Howard (Jason Clarke). The youngest of the three is Jack (Shia
LaBeouf). Jack is busy trying to live up
to his borthers’ image – but is not succeeding too well. Charlie Rakes (Guy Pearce) is a brutal law
enforcement official who comes to the area with the intent to take down all of
the moonshiners. The movie follows the
battle between Rakes and the Bondurant brothers and battles between the
brothers and city gangsters and Rakes vs. just about everyone.
My two cents: An interesting
movie. A lot of really brutal violence –
both in the form of fighting and torture.
Makes me glad I was not involved in the Virginia moonshine business back
in the bad-old-days of prohibition.
