Review of Lawless

Lawless (2012)
8/10
A nice straight-ahead conflict flix
18 February 2023
I guess the Tubi algorithm sensed me skipping ahead during the execrable Out of the Furnace. So Tubi served this better film up next. Just like Bill Clark kept the coke-head writers of NYPD Blue authentic, the source book for this film gave the script a more true sense of hill folk. The characters are more genuinely social and interactive. The family bonds are much more believable than in Out of the Furnace. That film thought country working-class folks were simply Brentwood sociopaths with a twang. This film has the typical drama points and moves along OK. I liked the actors, I assume this is the new batch of A-list stars. The trivia says the religious. Girl almost walked of the set due to the drunken antics of her love interest. If that is true she is the best actor on Earth, she looks so comfortable around him.
