Director John Hillcoat & screenwriter Nick Cave adapt Matt Bondurant's historical crime novel The Wettest Country In The World with a violent and ruthless passion.
Lawless has all the brutality and harsh language you'd come to expect from Hillcoat & Cave and then a little bit more for good measure. Each actor takes their roles quite seriously and it rewards with great effect and discomfort, particularly Gary Oldman and Guy Pearce.
It's cold, dusty and harsh world where there's always music in the air. Not for the weak of heart.
