I LOVED this film. They constantly kept you on the edge of your seat and always through surprises your way. The three brothers had so much synergy and worked so well together. You create this relationship with each character in your own way and it made the overall movie great. It's definitely an adult movie... lots of blood and cussing.. even nudity.. The director and writer did wonders with the script and filming. Kudos to everyone in the movie.. :)

Saw Lawless last night and I must say it was a really great movie. Being from the South we have a given understanding of moonshiners which fueled the incomes of many families for many years Go see this movie!.

Academy Award Material for almost all the stars. This movie was great and it was a true story, which I like. After this movie I definetly want to learn more about these guys, and the 30's do seem like an interesting time. I loved the plot and the scenery of West Virgina was beautiful, despite the violence that took place but that's what was what the plot was about and it was never too gory, they showed enough to make it real. I would nominate Shia Lebeauf as Best Actor and Tom Hardy and Guy Pierce for Best Supporting Actor. This is for people who the read the book, and the people who want to see a good drama and action fans, but take my word for it, see it for yourselves.

It was a very intense movie with LOTS of violence, that being said giving the story line it was necessary. I had not read the novel and was able to follow the plot quite well. The story was very interesting but the high light was the performances giving by Guy Pearce, Shia BeLeouf, Tom Hardy, Gary Oldman and an actor I hadn't seen before Jason Clarke. These men really seemed to fall right into the time period. All the sets, music and scenery were so authentic it made watching this film more realistic for us.

This movie is made in the Bonnie and Clyde type tradition, no its not about bank robbers, and no it may not be as good as Bonnie and Clyde, but it is good. I've read alot of complaints about nudity and bloodshed, and after seeing this movie, I wonder what the complaints are about, as there was only a few nude scenes that were brief, I've seen far worst more often, and I've seen far more bloodshed in other movies. The acting in this all around was great, the story was a very good story, if anything, I would have liked a little more action myself. The movie is about 3 brothers who are bootleggers/moonshine in the 1930's era, and about the corrupt police who try to shake them down for a share, and later try and put them out of business. I go to the show often and wasnt expecting much out of this movie after reading the reviews, but was very surprised at how good this was, take my advice, skip the critics reviews and go see this, I'd give it 3 out of 4 stars myself, enjoy :)
