Very Cool!!!

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

.Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

I didn't have high expectations about this movie, even though it consists of some well-known Hollywood names. I guess it was just as I expected, but nothing more. Probably a bit exaggerated at some points, especially during the end, and in some points hard to believe it's based on a true story. There were probably some fictitious elements mixed in, which made it not so different from an average action movie. The acting was one of the brighter spots of this movie; everyone did their part in a rather believable way, as pretty much all actors brought the characters to life. Overall, it was an okay movie, but you won't miss very much not seeing it.DISCLAIMER : Everything stated in this review is entirely matter of personal opinion and doesn't have to coincide with the opinions of other reviewers

You just don't survive being shot through the guts like that. Even more, you don't survive that on top of being shot multiple times by 45acp and buck shot. There is just no need for such silliness and poor direction.

During prohibition in Franklin Co. Virginia, three restaurant entrepreneur brothers operate an illegal moonshine business. Unfortunately everyone wants a piece of the pie, one that they are not eager to share. The brothers consist of Forrest (Tom Hardy), the brains and philosopher of the group. Howard (Jason Clarke) is a berserker, and Jack (Shia LaBeouf) is the shy driver. Jack is sweet on a Mennonite preacher's daughter (Mia Wasikowska) who likes his "bad boy" image.Guy Pearce plays Charlie Rakes, a one sided unlikable crooked deputy who makes us root for the moonshiners. Jessica Chastain provides a little style to the film as a city girl (former feather dancer) who wants to get away from Chicago and winds up working the restaurant for Forrest.As things pan out, young Jack must suddenly grow himself a set and take over the family enterprise against the odds. Good acting. High intensity.Parental Guide: F-bomb, sex, nudity (Malinda Baker), implied rape.

Lawless isn't flawless, but boy was it a good time. This is one bad-ass, gun-blazing, gangster movie. It's piled high with action. The story is not treated as fascinatingly, and perhaps character development needed some fine tuning. But you can't say anything bad about the acting. Tom Hardy.. again, he might be the actor of our time. Shia does an incredible job here. There's a real actor hiding behind all of that craziness. Then, there's Guy Pierce, who absolutely steals every scene as the bad guy. What a monster. Nothing beats well acted evil in a film, and he pulls it off Christoph Waltz-style. That haircut will haunt your nightmares. Over all, this is a highly underrated film. It may look on the surface to be as bland as a canceled HBO mini-series. Don't judge the book by it's cover. Give it a watch.
