Lawless
“When the law became corrupt, outlaws became heroes.”
In 1931, the Bondurant brothers of Franklin County, Virginia, run a multipurpose backwoods establishment that hides their true business — bootlegging. Middle brother Forrest is the brain of the operation; older Howard is the brawn, and younger Jack, the lookout. Though the local police have taken bribes and left the brothers alone, a violent war erupts when a sadistic lawman from Chicago arrives and tries to shut down the Bondurants operation.
Lawless feels like a raw, blood-soaked ballad of brotherhood and survival in a brutal era. It's a visceral, tense experience, steeped in the dust and desperation of Prohibition-era Appalachia. Expect a propulsive journey through loyalty, violence, and the harsh realities of an unforgiving world, rendered with a gritty, almost mythic quality.
