Lawless
Dir: John Hillcoat
2012
****
A great film but I'd be lying if I'd say that I wasn't expecting more from director John Hillcoat. It's a great film though, I thought it was going to be greater than the sum of its parts but it wasn't, everyone pulled their weight and added their bit to the overall production. The direction wasn't consistent though. Towards the middle it didn't look like anything special but then in other certain scenes, many of the less important ones, it was stunningly beautiful. Minor niggles on my part probably but only because The Proposition and The Road are two awesome films to follow up from. Oh, and I didn't hate Shia LaBeouf, so that was nice.
