This semi-documentary movie describes the world of Prohibition with it's bootleggers and corrupt cops in the hill country of Virginia and West Virginia in the 1920's
and 30's. It tells the story . . . in very graphic, realistic and violent terms of the the Bondurant brothers who run a multipurpose backwoods bootlegging business. Middle brother Forrest (Tom Hardy) is the brain of the operation; older Howard is the brawn, and younger Jack, the lookout.
Although the local police have taken bribes and left the brothers alone, a violent war erupts when a sadistic lawman from Chicago arrives and tries to shut down the Bondurants operation.
Settings, cinematography sensational. Go to the move and you will be IN THE BACKWOODS country. Only thing missing was the full development of the characters. All we get to known about them is there relationship to the business.
