Lawless

When the law became corrupt, outlaws became heroes.

Sinopse

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.

This is a well done movie indeed although I felt like it could have been an even better movie at the end. Acting, scenery, general story is all quite
