Story

"Lawless" is the true story of the infamous Bondurant Brothers: bootlegging siblings who made a run for the American Dream in Prohibition-era Virginia. In this epic gangster tale, inspired by true-life tales of author Matt Bondurant's family in his novel "The Wettest County in the World", the loyalty of three brothers is put to the test against the backdrop of the nation's most notorious crime wave.

REVIEWS BY CRITICS

“..it could have been better, but with Hardy and Pearce on board, it's plenty good enough..”
by Bill Goodykoontz [Arizona Republic]
“..nearly everything about the plot and characters is so familiar. We've seen this movie before, and we know more or less how it's going to play out. But the taste of this particular blend still stings real good going down..”
by Eric D. Snider [Film.com]
“..is just another gangster movie, and not a very good one..”
by Stephen Whitty [Newark Star-Ledger]
