Lawless
In 1931, the Bondurant brothers of Franklin County, Virginia, run a multipurpose backwoods establishment that hides their true business — bootlegging. Middle brother Forrest is the brain of the operation; older Howard is the brawn, and younger Jack, the lookout. Though the local police have taken bribes and left the brothers alone, a violent war erupts when a sadistic lawman from Chicago arrives and tries to shut down the Bondurants operation.

i must have seen a different film!!
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
You just don't survive being shot through the guts like that. Even more, you don't survive that on top of being shot multiple times by 45acp and buck shot. There is just no need for such silliness and poor direction.
WHY WAS I ATTRACTED TO THIS MOVIE? 1.tom hardy is one of my favorite stars(best performance in THE DARK KNIGHT RISES). 2.I like movies depicting old timely American villages.I LIKED IT BECAUSE 1.a feel good movie, almost happy ending. 2.super performances by each and every member of the cast. 3.good story, nothing extraordinary but decent. 4.music is soothing. 5.larger than life character of tom hardy. YOU MAY LIKE IT IF YOU LIKE 1.tom hardy. 2.old American countryside depicting movies. 3.a feel good drama. YOU MAY HATE IT IF YOU HATE 1.larger than life characters.
This was my first Tom Hardy experience, he's truly a revelation, he took a normal role and transformed it. He is the new Daniel Day Lewis, his intensity and strangeness infuses every scene he's in, he changes the cadence and meaning of most things in the movie. Weirdly, I felt like I had always seen him, like a song you really like but have never heard before and to be clear, this is not some fanboy thing - his walk, how he entered a scene, how he responds to other characters, he seems larger than life and he was acting with some pretty capable people. The music in the movie was great too, the movie itself was pretty black and white routine but worth the price of admission. Hardy's subsequent work on the Revenant, (which I hated) was also amazing as was his work on Mad Max. In the latter, he worked so well with Cherlize Theron who also is a fearless actor and ironically or maybe because of Hardy's intensity, she refused to have anything to do with him off the set. He's the real thing, when you see such talent, even if you know nothing about acting you realize you are in the presence of genius.
Set in Depression-era Franklin County, Virginia, a trio of bootlegging brothers are threatened by a new special deputy and other authorities angling for a cut of their profits. When was the last time that you saw Shia LaBeouf in a great movie? You just found it. Lawless has some of the best performances from some particular actors such as Tom Hardy, Guy Pearce, Jason Clarke, Shia LaBeouf and Jessica Chastain as for Gary Oldman is one of the problems with this film since his role is about 5 minutes and that is a problem also there are some dumb moments such as Shia throwing up on his shoes as Mia Wasikowska was trying to clean his feet and the film has the first acting being a Tom Hardy movie and the second act being a Shia LaBeouf film which it works cause his role as Jack needs to grow on you and they did that pretty well and Lawless is a pretty well damn film 9/10.
