About this movie

Set in the 1920s prohibition era America, Lawless is the true story of the Bondurant brothers. Brazen and fearless, these young rural bootleggers became legendary criminals. The youngest brother, Jack (LaBeouf) is ambitious and impulsive, the middle brother, Howard, is loyal but reckless and eldest brother, Forrest (Hardy), leads the family with a silent determination. As the Bondurants' illicit business and legend grows, so too looms the danger of bigger fish, and it's not long before the brothers must face the consequences. 2011 By Bootleg Movie LLC.

Ratings and reviews

Great storyline that keeps you addicted till the very end. Great direction and superbly written. Not usually a fan of LaBeouf however this was a convincing and formidable offering and is his best yet. Hardy's characterisation of the head of the Bondurant clan is flawless, showing off his versatility and his natural talent. The only negative I have is not taking full advantage of Oldmans' casting, I feel it's a waste of his prestige

Very strong movie! Excellent actors and gripping throughout. Didnt even realise the time till it ended. Good story line and very graphic atimes but I quite enjoyed it. Very realistic, highly recommend. Only thing was the accent was hard to follow so pay attention.

Loved the movie. Tom Hardy as always was very impressive. Shia LaBeouf's performance was also very good as were the performances by the other cast members. I thoroughly enjoyed everything about the movie (I guess I'm easily impressed :p).
