I’m a big Tom Hardy fan but I’m not sure what I’m seeing here that I can’t already get in Boardwalk Empire. Hopefully the subsequent trailers will entice enough me to pony up the cash to see this in theaters.
This looks better than Boardwalk Empire from the production design and photographic quality side (even though I like Boardwalk Empire it often has this TV look, and also that very thinned out, sirupy story of TV shows that need to cover more air hours than the story would naturally give).
Not sure about the story of “Lawless”, though. All those slam-bang sound effects, and no real hint of a story may be a harbinger that there isn’t one.
Which would be a sad thing, as it really has an interesting look.
So, hopefully the film is better than its trailer.
THE NEWTON BOYS (Part 2?) – Why no previous notice?
Agree, Madmax. Ya know they tested Daniel Fathers for the role. He would have been stronger. But they got the name.
Lawless or Gangster Squad?! Oh man…
