'Lawless' Finally Gets Good Posters

Yesterday, we (finally) got a good trailer, today we get good posters. So much better. I thought this was going to flop but since the new trailer (and, to a lesser extent, these posters) 'Lawless' is looking like something worth seeing. Don't know if it'll be "Ferociously entertaining" as boasted on the first poster, but...I'll check it out. If I'm entertained to an extent that's ferocious, well, I'll be okay with that.

'Lawless' Finally Gets a Good (Red Band) Trailer

It may be too late. The damage may be done. This is an excellent trailer, though. If you can forget the choppily edited clips (I hope that's not how it is in the movie), the out-of-step posters, and silly attempts at going viral like the poster that runs down what kind of .45 the various characters use.

I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. Earlier trailers may have suffered from selling a nasty movie with a clean edit. That always, well...usually, goes badly. Here's a gritty violent red band cut and it does the story justice.

If the movie plays like this trailer, great, I'll check it out.

'Lawless' Firearms -- What Kind of .38 Do You Prefer?

Sort of a .38 caliber PSA

Who would want to use a weapon with a muzzle velocity of 620 ft/sec designed and/or manufactured in 1887 when you could use one that shoots 1000 ft/sec made at the turn of the century?

Love Guy Pearce in this. What a yick factor he exudes. That hair (what kind of creep shaves the part), accent, clothes, gloves, overdone sneer, cocked wrist, even the name -- Rakes.

Trailer for the Must-See 'Lawless'

With Tom Hardy, Guy Pearce, Gary Oldman, Jessica Chastain, Mia Wasikowska, and Shia LaBeouf. Wow.

Icing on the cake -- directed by John Hillcoat (The Proposition, The Road).

Starts slow, almost seems like a made for TV flick, but grows on you and ends strong.
