Based on a novel by Dallas-based Matt Bondurant about his family's real-life bootlegging past, it's a violent, brooding portrait of brotherhood in trying times. It's also a return to form for Australian director John Hillcoat, acclaimed for his 2005 Western The Proposition and then derided for his take on the celebrated novel The Road four years later.
