It’s been a long time since I’ve seen such a movie that can be slowly savored. The camera sense is very good, and it can immediately bring the audience into the environment of that era. The film does not pursue a fast rhythm, and it controls the transitions well. There is a degree of relaxation, and each character has its own characteristics. There are many points to watch in the performance. Guy Pearce's villain is wicked enough and annoying enough. Tom Hardy is also good, not exaggerated, very devoted. . .
Jessica Chastain walks out of the dark naked in a breathless, beautiful shot. . .

Lawless quotes

  • [last lines]

    Jack Bondurant: Nowadays we Bondurants abide by the law. People ain't tryin' to cut our throats, stab us, or shoot us no more. Them days are long gone. Sometimes when I'm out on the porch just sittin' around doin' nothin', hell, it sure does get real quite around here.

  • Forrest Bondurant: What I'm trying to say is, the course of your life it is changing. You don't even see it.

    Mugger #2: What are you talkin' bout?

    [Forrest punches him with iron knuckles, knocking mugger unconscious]

    Howard Bondurant: Yeah, that's what he's talking' bout.

    Howard Bondurant: [Looking at a shocked Jack Bondurant] You alright there, Jack?

    Jack Bondurant: Caught me off guard is all.
