Fucking Shia. Rest of the cast is awesome though and I have a lot of faith in Hillcoat.
Looks pretty fantastic. August release date btw.

f'real though, move over statham and owen, new brit hunk mancrush coming through full speed

agree on shia, they should've went wiht michael pitt - dude would be perfect - dead eyed, mildly inbred looking and actually menacing. and he can actually act too

but otherwise this is my shit. really excited for hillcoat to have long career of awesome gritty neo-westerns

It done already happened. Dude's career these past few years since Bronson has been really solid, McG romantic comedy aside.

nick cave on the script and music. im hoping that trailer got studio-ed pretty hard because this does not look the same pace as their previous work. will be seen opening weekend for sure.

Can't even front, it looks very promising, and I didn't care for "The Proposition" much at all.

He's an ex addict so maybe he enjoys obsessing over extreme life changes? Completely baseless guess on my part.

This was decent. Started off really really strong when it centered around Hardy's character, but loses a lot of steam when Chia LeBuff starts cutting into screentime. Most of the tension is the result of his character having a "whoopsie" moment. Really violent, and worth it alone to Hardy and Pearce play chaotic-evil sort of characters across from each other. Competent script and good character acting all around. Some tropes bear their head, like the bad boy falling for a preacher's girl, etc. Oldman is under used. Ending was weird and a bit anticlimactic. Jessica Chastain shows her tits for like 18 seconds
the boy is the father to the man

Completely agree.

Movie definitely needs moar Oldman.

Tom Hardy is my favorite "new" actor. He is killing roles.

yepyep. i've never had any beef with la beouf, but fifteen minutes into this when guy pearce annihilates the living shit out of him i figured anyone who does hate him should already consider themselves fulfilled. pearce/hardy were toppermost here, dudes are champs. more goldman would have been appreciated, but still loved the shit out of this, as expected

Didn't know there was a thread for this movie already - thought it went by underappreciated. Of course this film was released months later in Europe compared to the US, which sucked. Saw this last week and really enjoyed this though. I'm a huge Tom Hardy fan (nh) and as always, he did very well in this. Can't say I was too annoyed by Shia LeBeouf, but I agree that casting Michael Pitt for his role would've been a lot better.

How does this movie rate for you guys in the 'best of the year' debate? Top 10 for me, perhaps top 5. I love bootlegger films/shows.
