Lawless is based on Matt Bondourant?s novel The Wettest County in the World. Here?s the synopsis:

Based on the true story of Matt Bondurant?s grandfather and two granduncles, The Wettest County in the World is a gripping tale of brotherhood, greed, and murder. The Bondurant Boys were a notorious gang of roughnecks and moonshiners who ran liquor through Franklin County, Virginia, during Prohibition and in the years after. Forrest, the eldest brother, is fierce, mythically indestructible, and the consummate businessman; Howard, the middle brother, is an ox of a man besieged by the horrors he witnessed in the Great War; and Jack, the youngest, has a taste for luxury and a dream to get out of Franklin. Driven and haunted, these men forge a business, fall in love, and struggle to stay afloat as they watch their family die, their father?s business fail, and the world they know crumble beneath the Depression and drought.

White mule, white lightning, firewater, popskull, wild cat, stump whiskey, or rotgut ? whatever you called it, Franklin County was awash in moonshine in the 1920s. When Sherwood Anderson, the journalist and author of Winesburg, Ohio, was covering a story there, he christened it the ?wettest county in the world.? In the twilight of his career, Anderson finds himself driving along dusty red roads trying to find the Bondurant brothers, piece together the clues linking them to ?The Great Franklin County Moonshine Conspiracy,? and break open the silence that shrouds Franklin County.

Yup I watched Warrior a week or two back, film was great, Hardy was ... acting like he was looking for Laurel. Tinker Tailor Soldier spy was cringe worthy :(

Wow really? I enjoyed Warrior particularly for Hardy and Nolte's performances, the plot was a little cheesy but I can forgive that. I think Hardy is a pretty fantastic actor, Bronson comes to mind for me. I would highly recommend that film for those who question his acting ability.
