LAWLESS | White Lightning

LAWLESS is available now on Digital, Blu-ray Disc and DVD.
They were brothers who became outlaws, and outlaws who became heroes... The three Bondurant boys (Shia LaBeouf, Tom Hardy, Jason Clarke), along with their sultry new hire (Jessica Chastain), 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 (Guy Pearce)-wants a cut of their action, at any cost. When youngest brother Jack (LaBeouf) gets a taste of power with a deadly gangster (Gary Oldman) the whole business blows sky high. Based on the astonishing true story, the Bondurant brotherhood is the stuff of legend.
Directed by John Hillcoat. Written by Nick Cave. Starring Shia LaBeouf, Tom Hardy, Guy Pearce, Jessica Chastain, Mia Wasikowska, Jason Clarke and Gary Oldman.

What I like about this movie, is that it captures the surrounding atmosphere of what it would be like to be living in that place and time. Where many other movies would turn it into an over-the-top western shooter, by only focusing on the main character and not multiple points of view of different lives. Coupled with good actors and a good story that goes through all the emotions like fear, despair, survival, friendship, love, it makes for a great film.

We need a rockstar game that makes you a moonshiner :D this is a lost piece of history that would be great to relive in a sandbox game.
The shelling of the shotgon followed by the "c'mon now boi, give me a reason" sent chills down my spine

[@jojokrako7818]

My people also....Scots-Irish/German ancestors from Virginia into the North Carolina Pisgah mountains in the 1700's and then to the upper northeast Georgia mountains from the 1840's onward. My lineage made whiskey for generations......my dad ran it in a suped up 1941 Ford sedan from the mountains down to Atlanta in the late 1940's/ early 1950's.

[@FRBaku]

As with most movies based off of real events and peoples some of the events are exaggerated and some things are added to make it more interesting

[@justinmyslive4108]

Catchy tune

[@redcaddiedaddie]

A 'rockabilly' remake of the Lou Reed/Velvet Underground song by the same name- I recommend it!

[@HansJazz]

@@redcaddiedaddie nothing beats the original version but this one sounds pretty good.

[@redcaddiedaddie]

@@HansJazz Yep- not bad... sometimes a remake by a different band adds a different, & good twist to an old song. Still like the 'Velvets' better, though- just personal opinion- more raw, edgy & decadent-sounding!

[@triggerwarning5911]

Oldman played Banner well but I wish they would made the character a bit more accurate. Floyd Banner died at the age of 30. Woulda been cool to seen a younger person play the part with a younger crew like irl.

[@logana1999]

"Mad Dog" Floyd Banner is not a real person, you are probably thinking of Pretty Boy Floyd
