Review of Lawless (2012) by The3Academysins — 01 Jan 2019

Beautifully shot, masterfully acted, and fun to watch, Lawless tells the sordid tale of moonshining brothers during the American Prohibition. Shia LaBeouf, Tom Hardy, and Jason Clarke are fantastic as the three brothers. The supporting cast and soundtrack are great as well.

The problem with Lawless is the script. The script is a meandering hackjob that tries to say a lot more than it actually does. Still, the performances and cinematography were enough to keep me invested in the characters and interested in what happens to them. A fun action movie and historical drama if nothing more.
