    Pretty good movie. Shia Lebouf, who's usually annoying, does a pretty decent job. Tom Hardy is good in this, and Guy Pierce plays a TERRIFIC villian.

    7.5/10

    I heard it could have been great, but didnt push the envelope hard enough.

    You just made Xplosive's critique of Lawless irrelevant.

    Yup....during different part of the movie it got very good, i thought they were going to GO IN on it..but they back off.....still a good movie 8.5/10..could have been a lot better though. I will watch again when it comes out on tv/netflix/boxes


    Tom Hardy and Guy Pearce were both great.

    Excellent movie. Hardy puts in another solid performance. Shia Lebouf is a little turd but even he cannot ruin this movie.

    I saw this when it was first released and I had no idea that villian was Guy Pearce, he was great.

    Pearce is turning into a pretty excellent actor. He was always good, but he started to disappear in his characters and that is always good.

    Man, real mixed feelings about this movie. They did so many things right but also fell miles short in key areas. The climactic scene really diminished this movie for me. It seems like the ending was a bit hurried and didn't really work for me.

    Overall it was enjoyable and worth watching as Tom Hardy and Guy Pearce were fantastic.
