Lawless


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.
