Tom Hardy and Shia LaBeouf go bootlegging

Lawless has released another muscular trailer online, and you can watch it right here.

Brimming with machismo, this trailer doesn't provide huge swathes of new footage, but it's a potent and punchy reminder that the film is heading your way soon.

Again it's Tom Hardy who steals this one, brooding with an undeniable intensity. That said, having taken a step back from Michael Bay's giant, clanking robots-in-disguise, Shia LaBeouf looks to be giving one of his most charismatic performances in years.

Gary Oldman and Guy Pearce slip comfortably into the character work that they do so well, although the supremely talented women of the cast (Mia Wasikowska and Jessica Chastain) barely get a look in.

Check out the new trailer below:


Directed by The Proposition 's John Hillcoat, Lawless opens on 7 September 2012 in the UK.
