About this movie

Taking fatherly advice is not in Joe Coughlin’s nature. Instead, the WWI vet is a self proclaimed anti-establishment outlaw, despite being the son of the Boston Police Deputy Superintendent. Joe’s not all bad, though; in fact, he’s not really bad enough for the life he’s chosen. Unlike the gangsters he refuses to work for, he has a sense of justice and an open heart, and both work against him, leaving him vulnerable time and again—in business and in love. Driven by a need to right the wrongs committed against him and those close to him, Joe heads down a risky path that goes against his upbringing and his own moral code. Leaving the cold Boston winter behind, he and his reckless crew turn up the heat in Tampa. And while revenge may taste sweeter than the molasses that infuses every drop of illegal rum he runs, Joe will learn that it comes at a price.

Ratings and reviews

Great cinematography and story. A slight pacing problem in the middle but it was done well enough to even out the characters. Ben Affleck has done an amazing job with this film

I adore these types or films set in that sort of era such as The God Farther etc. This was a great film with some good acting and some incredible action scenes in there too which was a classy touch. Yup loved it great film!

Not a fan of Ben Affleck last film seen was batman so to see him in a completely different role thumbs up for me..also accountant don't think he your typical action guy so throughly enjoyed this
