Lawless is a period drama that’s well-crafted but lacks strong storytelling. Inspired by a true story, the film follows a notorious family of bootleggers that get strong-armed by a corrupt state deputy looking to control the industry. The casting is very good, and includes Tom Hardy, Shia LaBeouf, Jessica Chastain, Guy Pearce, and Mia Wasikowska. However, the characters aren’t developed that well and the storytelling is rather awkward; making it difficult to build momentum. Yet despite some clunkiness, Lawless in an interesting and somewhat compelling crime film.
