Big stars and gore fail to compensate for a weak plot

Lawless (18)

HHH

Dir: John Hillcoat

With: Tom Hardy, Guy Pearce, Gary Oldman

Runtime: 115 minutes

MATT Bondurant's granddaddy and granduncles were bootleggers in prohibition-era America. Sounds like a great "reveal" for Who Do You Think You Are; instead it's the basis of a crime drama that promises much but delivers less than one hopes.
