Lawless

Two nights ago I watched John Hillcoat's 'Lawless'. I loved this movie. It is a bit on the gory side, so if you don't like blood, maybe it's not for you. This movie truly wasn't what i was expecting. I was on the edge of my seat most of the movie, waiting to know what happened next.
The story revolves around the three Bondurant brothers back in the prohibition era of the United States. It's all about their struggle trying to make ends meet through Moon Shine.

Shia LeBeouf plays the main character in this film. His portrayal of Jack Bondurant showed real talent. I was really impressed. He gave the piece a believability, and produced an affection for the characters. He made me really want the bootleggers to succeed.

This is yet another movie where Tom Hardy played his role exceptionally. It seems that every movie I watch with him in, his voice changes. He puts on so many different accents that I'm actually not sure what his real voice sounds like. He plays every role I've seen with a dedication and skill which is hard to find. I really am a huge fan now. Just like Shia LeBeouf, he also added and endearing quality to his role.

Over all, I quite enjoyed this movie. The soundtrack was good, the direction brilliant and the acting was outstanding, from all those involved. I'd watch this movie again if I could and would love to own it rather than just renting it. It's a good watch for anyone who likes a bit of action.
