Very good historical film about the s. This film was very well done in giving us that s vibe when alcohol was prohibited during that time.

They run a modestly successful bootlegging racket and are respected and feared in their community but, with Prohibition-era America thirsty for as much moonshine as their makeshift stills can churn out, they could be achieving so much more. Jack is played with dreamy intensity and later as the realities of criminal life begin to kick in with steely resolve by LaBeouf, who must be able to sympathise with Jack's predicament.

LaBeouf's first notable role was in adventure comedy Holes in , and he came to prominence as the lead in thriller Disturbia. He was then snapped up to play Harrison Ford's biker son Mutt in the lamentable Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull , and since then he's been fending off oversized machines in all three Transformers films. Last summer, he decided to call it a day and move on. LaBeouf says he has never played a role like Jack Bondurant before.

He has his first drink of moonshine, his first kiss. When you first meet Jack, he's full of empathy; he lives on a farm and he can't watch his brothers kill a pig. That empathy is hindering his criminal career. A very convincing performance. Jason Clarke plays Howard, the eldest brother, a relentlessly violent character who is the Bondurant clan's enforcer.
