'Lawless': Heady cast marred by two . . . .
Posted by mr grits on September 1, 2012 at 10:22:10:
Characters: Le Boof and Pearce. Pearce is one of the creepiest looking villains to hit the screen in a while. Too creepy. I found it hard to look at him. Sure, there are bad, weird people in the world but this was over the top. As for Le Boof, well he was just the same overgrown adolescent he always is.
Now the plot is "based" on real events and there is plenty of action, maiming, and killing to satisfy. The story is predictable as we have all seen plenty of prohibition, law-breaking movies. The bright spots of the film were Chastain (fan dancer on the run), Hardy (WW1 and the Spanish Flu couldn't kill him), and Oldman (gangster on the run) who wasn't on screen enough.
The is a big budget film with the standard high end look weighed down by predictability and two characters you would like to see dead by the second scene.
