Lawless Reviews

Movie Reviews

• without sufficient character development Lawless simply feels lifeless

  by Claudia Puig [USA Today ]

• weak and cloudy moonshine: it doesn't burn or intoxicate

  by A.O. Scott [NY Times ]

• 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

  Review rate : B by Eric D. Snider [Film.com ]

• it's a bad Sundance film

  by Owen Gleiberman [Entertainment Weekly ]

• it could have been better, but with Hardy and Pearce on board, it's plenty good enough

  by Bill Goodykoontz [Arizona Republic ]

• is just another gangster movie, and not a very good one

  by Stephen Whitty [Newark Star-Ledger ]

• a well-made movie that deserves a higher profile than it is being accorded
