Review For Lawless
The center of narrative gravity is hard to locate; for whom are we rooting, and does anything really ripple outward from this nasty local fight? Anthony Lane-New Yorker Fans of The Proposition will have to settle for sublimely evil performances by Gary Oldman (as a murderous rival) and Guy Pearce (as a government agent) and a large quotient of gut-wrenching violence. J. R. Jones-Chicago Reader With a dynamite cast, an iconic screenwriter in rocker Nick Cave and an Aussie director in John Hillcoat, you assume a new classic. What you get is an ambitious try. Peter Travers-Rolling Stone You can sense the filth, and smell the rust, and feel the ingrained poverty that might well convince a family of survivors (of World War I and the Spanish flu) to make their fortune selling moonshine to their neighbors. John Anderson-Wall Street Journal There's something at the movie's heart that remains flimsy and inauthentic, a kid in his older brother's ill-fitting shoes. Dana Stevens-Slate Much of the action may be nearly as grim as in director John Hillcoat's previous feature, "The Road" - "Lawless" is very bloody - but the scenery and production design are a whole lot nicer. Mark Feeney-Boston Globe Lawless features a unique villain and several great supporting actors, but none of them are able to rise above what is pretty standard crime movie material with nothing really new added to the mix. Eric Melin-Scene-Stealers.com Lawless is a compellingly nutty and uneven gangster film. Chuck Bowen-Slant Magazine Lawless had great potential, but due to a poor storytelling technique that causes the film to be rather dull, we merely end up with a film that just looks good. Jeremy Lebens-We Got This Covered Lawless had great potential, but due to a poor storytelling technique that causes the film to be rather dull, we merely end up with a film that looks good while not actually being good. Jeff Beck-We Got This Covered An over-the-top indulgence in sadism strictly recommended for folks with a stomach for gangster fare so gruesome as to border on the cartoonish. Kam Williams-NewsBlaze fairly entertaining Richard Knight-Knight at the Movies Appropriately solemn and violent, yet strangely lifeless. I imagine a better film was lost in the editing room, and will hopefully be found on Blu-ray. Rob Humanick-Projection Booth Tale of bootleggers has genre kick Robert Denerstein-Movie Habit Every time things heat up, the film down-shifts just long enough to keep you from getting too engaged in the characters, some of whom disappear for reels before popping up again. Jim Schembri-3AW Just as he did in his adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's The Road, Hillcoat creates a very specific and unnerving sense of place in Lawless. Perry Seibert-TV Guide's Movie Guide ...[Hillcoat] has an ability to capture violence in a way that breaks through a century of cinematic desensitisation - when someone gets hurt in a John Hillcoat film you feel it. Adam Ross-The Aristocrat The strong narrative will keep you interested. The graphic depiction of the violence also gives Lawless a heavy dose of realism. Matthew Toomey-ABC Radio Brisbane Director John Hillcoat's terrifically acted prohibition era thriller, inspired by the real-life story of the Bondurant brothers, shows how the American dream starting to go wrong - before it even existed. Luke Buckmaster-Crikey Don't expect to be carried along by big action and cliched dialogue, Lawless expects you to do some of the work yourself by immersing yourself in this richly textured world. Tim Martain-The Mercury The film as a whole is no classic. Between sporadic bursts of very intense violence, there are often drifty, drowsy scenes that struggle to justify their relevance. Leigh Paatsch-Herald Sun (Australia) This Prohibition-era crime drama boasts bravura performances, unforgettable characters, moments of shocking violence, and enough in-your-face entertainment for three films. Erin Free-FILMINK (Australia) In the climax, Hillcoat brings it all back to where it began: as a folk tale. You could read it as a tale of the triumph of the small businessman. Julie Rigg-MovieTime, ABC Radio National A powerful story that packs a punch (plus a few stabbings and shootings). Matt Neal-The Standard Utterly untroubled by any expectation to entertain - or even mildly engage - the audience, Hillcoat and screenwriter Nick Cave take a stroll through 1930s Virginia with the enthusiasm of beleaguered berry-pickers rather than raucous bootleggers. Simon Miraudo-Quickflix The cinematic equivalent of a murder ballad: rambling, violent, and more concerned with style and presentation than meaningful character development. Which sounds like a complaint, but in the case of Lawless, is high praise. Ian Buckwalter-The Washingtonian
