Netflix continues to ramp up the release of their exclusive content with two shows in the last month with another just weeks away. If you’re in the mood for something a little more retro there’s Academy Award winning dramas, teen romance, undersea battles, adventures into the final frontier, and Ben Affleck’s greatest acting achievement.
They were brothers who became outlaws, and outlaws who became heroes...
The three Bondurant boys, along with their sultry new hire, command the most lucrative bootlegging operation in Franklin County, Virginia. The locals consider them “indestructible.” But the law—in the form of a corrupt special deputy—wants a cut of their action, at any cost. When youngest brother Jack gets a taste of power with a deadly gangster the whole business blows sky high. Based on the astonishing true story, the Bondurant brotherhood is the stuff of legend.
Jeff of We Got This Covered wrote, "The best way to describe John Hillcoat’s Lawless is as a story waiting to happen. It’s a curious experience, and a strange way to characterize it, but after giving the film a viewing, it becomes clear as to what this means. It has all the elements to tell an interesting tale about bootleggers struggling with the law, but for some odd reason, the film is structured in such a way that it merely prowls around the idea for almost the entire duration of its runtime."
Nice review but I disagree about Tom Hardy's character. His character was badass even though he had his flaws.
