Lawless



What I liked:
  • Fantastic cast: Tom Hardy, Shia LaBeouf, Jason Clarke, Guy Pearce, Jessica Chastain, Mia Wasikowska, Dane DeHaan, and Gary Oldman.
  • Hardy can rock a cardigan on an outlaw like no other.
  • It engaged the audience pretty well.  They laughed out loud at the funny parts, cheered when the bad guy was hurt and shrieked when the good guy was hurt.
  • Beautiful cinematography.
  • It was based on a true story of the three brothers.
What I didn't like:
  • While Chastain looked as beautiful as ever, her character's wardrobe seemed out of place, even for a "city" girl during that time period.
  • There wasn't enough of Chastain, Wasikowska or Oldman.
  • The film felt choppy, rushing from scene to scene, skipping over significant amount of time.
  • I felt like there was too much left to the viewer's imagination.

Grade: C+
