Shia LaBeouf In His Best Role Yet!
I bought this movie mainly for historical purposes, as I learned about it from the Monacan Indian Facebook page, who live in Amherst County, VA. My parental family came from that tribe, and it was stated in the book that this movie was taken from ("The Wettest County In The Nation") that my family was involved with the Bondurants in making and running white liquor. Much to my surprise, the movie was a real nail biter, with perhaps a bit more violence than I had bargained for. But I think the bashing that Shia LaBeouf has been taking in a lot of reviews is unwarranted. He's not my favorite actor by any means, but I think he gave the role everything he had in this movie, and is probably his best portrayal yet. I give this movie two thumbs up, and hope there might be a second one made for a follow-up soon,
