Sci-Fi Bri's Movies: "Lawless" Rated R
Characters/Actors: Forrest Bonderant (Tom Hardy), Howard Bonderant (Jason Clarke), Jack (Shia "Transformers" Laboef), Charley Rakes (Guy "Memento" Pearce), Floyd Banner (Gary Oldman), Maggie (Jessica Chastain)
In 1930s Prohibiton-era Virginia Forrest, Howard and Jack Bonderant blatantly and openly flout the law by bootlegging illicit liquor. Forrest and Howard are naturally tough, but Jack is more than a would-be lover than a fighter and a wannabe rough criminal. The siblings aren't afraid to use violence to get by. Before long though, a ruthless G-man named Charley Rakes uses violence and intimidation to try to thwart the Bonderant's business and destroy their stills. Rakes is so nasty that you look forward to his inevitable comeuppance. One Bonderant brother survives getting a slit throat, as well as bullet wounds. This movie is a sexy, violent bullet-riddles romp like previous movies such as "Bonnie and Clyde" and "Dillinger".
