Lawless

Lawless, 2012 American crime drama film - a family of hillbillies (good guys, like those in Sanctuary) are brewing moonshine and bootlegging on the industrial scale somewhere in the hills of Virginia. US Federal agents from Chicago together with the local police (bad guys) want a cut in the profits. Killings, mutilations, some sex and a very happy ending (no shit).

слагаемые успеха: based on true story + right proportion of graphic violence + some very moderate sex scenes + very american (Trump electorate) badass hero (Forrest Bondurant [Tom Hardy]) = 2,184 (!) ratings and 4.5 stars (no shit) at amazon. When i say Trump electorate - i am not kidding. Here's one of the 5 star reviews:
GCH2124: I feel comfortable saying this from a position of staunch heterosexuality: Tom Hardy...Sigh.
