Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Lawless is a 2012 American crime drama film set during the Prohibition era and following the exploits of the Bondurants, a family of bootleggers in rural Virginia. Their steady work of selling moonshine (with the compliance of the local sheriff) is complicated by two things: the arrival of Charley Rakes, a U.S. Marshal working with the corrupt DA who demands a cut of the local bootleggers' profits; and the youngest brother's ambition, which causes them to leave their comfort zone and take bigger risks.Adapted from the 2008 novel The Wettest Country in the World, written by Matt Bondurant (the grandson and great nephew of the three brothers), the film stars Tom Hardy as Forrest Bondurant, and Jason Clarke and Shia LaBeouf as his brothers Howard and Jack, with Guy Pearce as the Corrupt Cop trying to bring them down. Mia Wasikowska, Jessica Chastain, Dane DeHaan, Noah Taylor and Gary Oldman round out the cast. It was directed by John Hillcoat, with a screenplay by rock star Nick Cave, and a soundtrack by Cave and his bandmate, Warren Ellis.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Advertised Extra: Despite being heavily featured in the film's promotional material and receiving third billing in the trailers and posters, Gary Oldman only appears in a few scenes and is billed tenth in the closing credits.

Agent Peacock: Rakes presumably thinks of himself as this. He's the only one to do so.

Ambiguously Gay: Rakes. He is always immaculately dressed and ostentatiously groomed, and wears some unspecified scent. Calling Jack a "peach" when they first met added to this. All of this leads Jack, and presumably others, to assume Rakes is a "nance." Rakes doesn't take it well when he finds out. It's never confirmed definitively; he is seen getting dressed after presumably spending the night with a black woman, but her obvious distress suggests that whatever he did to her was neither normal nor pleasant.
