Jeff Sultanof The acting is bad, the violence is overwhelming to the point of insanity, and the story quite frankly isn't that compelling. I shut it off after one hour. There are many other gangster films that one could and should watch that are far more effective than this.
amirhamzasonet It is about three brothers who are running an illegal but successful business which soon attracts attention they don't want and trouble ensues. There is quite a lot of action in this film but it is mostly about the drama and the different things each character goes through. There are some fantastic actors in this film who all show their versatility and most notable for me was Tom Hardy and Shia LaBeouf who did an amazing job of making their characters real to the audience and made you really care for them. It is quite a long film but so many different things happen and it kept me glued from start to finish. There are some very grim scenes, some intense action, emotional scenes and of course romance and even a few comical moments - I think this film has a bit of everything. This film is not all about the action so don't expect it to be, but the main element is the theme of brotherhood which I loved. Also the fact that Lawless is based on a true story made it really interesting for me.

ryanbates-39030 I was very satisfied with this movie. I find anything with individual prohibition stories and tales fascinating. I knew a little about the Bondurant brothers and was interested to see how this movie would depict them.This movie is a good watch with a great cast. I think Tom Hardy plays Forrest really well, Shia LeBouf is actually likable as Jack and Jason Clarke does a brilliant job in the role of Howard. When I first seen the casting I was sceptical but after watching the movie I was really impressed. The reason why I didn't rate this movie any higher than I did although I really enjoyed it is because we as viewers did not see much immediate aftermath after Rakes was killed. I would of liked to see how the towns people/locals and law enforcement reacted instead of cutting to all the brothers happily married. I guess I am asking for too much as the movie is already almost 2 hours long.Regardless of my only negative the movie is drama and action packed with good casting and acting and is definitely a one to watch.
