Review of Lawless (2012) by Mark S — 14 Mar 2013
Lawless is a dark, awsome, bloody, violent, gritty, intense, entertaining film. The overall tone in this comes off as a grim, bad-ass, old style western movie. And in some ways it kind of is. It works on a lot of levels.
This movie is beautifully shot and the director does a great job at capturing all the surroundings and all of th character's emotions. The acting is fantastic. Tom Hardy, Jessica Chastain and even Shia Labeouf are great in this.
Guy Pearce delivers a chilling and awesome performance as the villain. However, Lawless does have many flaws and problems that can be overlooked to a point, but then you just can't stop noticing the problems.
Overall, I'll say Lawless is a very entertaining movie, with great directing and acting, even some of it's flaws can't be overlooked.
