David Thomson
It's slight and casual to the point of laziness, but it's straight fun, done with knowledge and a laconic pleasure. You could do far worse.
Anthony Lane
The center of narrative gravity is hard to locate; for whom are we rooting, and does anything really ripple outward from this nasty local fight?
J. R. Jones
Fans of The Proposition will have to settle for sublimely evil performances by Gary Oldman (as a murderous rival) and Guy Pearce (as a government agent) and a large quotient of gut-wrenching...
Peter Travers
With a dynamite cast, an iconic screenwriter in rocker Nick Cave and an Aussie director in John Hillcoat, you assume a new classic. What you get is an ambitious try.
John Anderson
You can sense the filth, and smell the rust, and feel the ingrained poverty that might well convince a family of survivors (of World War I and the Spanish flu) to make their fortune selling...
Dana Stevens
There's something at the movie's heart that remains flimsy and inauthentic, a kid in his older brother's ill-fitting shoes.

Great era flick I was already a Shia fan (his comedic side) and this movie made me a Tom Hardy fan. I've seen Hardy's minor roles in other movies but he has much more of a starring role in this film. Shia plays a much more serious role in this film which is necessary for the storyline. He's still snarky but loses the cheesy one liners endemic to Transformers. There isn't a movie that's directly comparable to Lawless either so I give it a thumbs up for originality in that regard too.

Very Disappointing! I Thought This Movie Was Going To Be Really Good, But Instead It Was Really Bad! The Film Was Too Short, There Wasn't Enough Action & The Storyline Was Bad. On Top Of That Tom Hardy & Shia LaBeouf's Love Interest Were Fugly Looking, At Least I Thought So? However The Actors Did Give A Phenomenal Performance, Despite The Bad Directing Of The Film. Trust Me, Save Your Money Do Not Buy Or Rent This Movie! Just Like Superman Returns, The Actors Were Fine, But The Story Was Badly Written!

Lawless!!! AWESOME! Great movie based on a true story. Awesome acting, great script, and exciting true events with several unexpected shockers. I love good movies from this era, this just happens to be one of the best. It's hard for me to fathom anyone not enjoying this movie... it's truly that good!

A priceless Apache war mask has been stolen from an Indian casino causing criminals, frat boys, tomahawk-wielding hit men, modern-day cowboys, and a six-foot-tall blonde assassin to rampage through a small town in hopes of claiming the treasure first. Guns, Girls and Gambling is an action-packed comedy where the laughs pile up faster than the body count.

Now, the hunter is also the hunted. (Original Title - Faster (2010)) © 2010 CBS Films Inc. and Sony Pictures Worldwide Acquisitions Inc. All Rights Reserved.
The Italian Job (2003)
The plan was flawless. The execution was perfect. Charlie Croker pulled off the crime of a lifetime. The one thing that he didn't plan on was being double-crossed. Now he wants more than the job's payoff...he wants payback. Mark Wahlberg is electrifying as Croker in this "fast and furious action-adventure."* Along with a drop-dead gorgeous safecracker (Charlize Theron), Croker and his team take off to re-steal the loot and end up in a pulse-pounding, pedal-to-the-metal chase that careens up, down, above and below the streets of Los Angeles. With an ensemble all-star cast that also includes Edward Norton, Seth Green, Jason Statham, Mos Def, Franky G and Donald Sutherland, The Italian Job is "Hot!"
