Acclaimed director John Hillcoat delivers a thrillingly vivid slice of American outlaw history in his epic gangster tale, LAWLESS.
Post apocalyptic tale based on the bestselling novel by Cormac McCarthy (No Country For Old Men). A father and son travel on foot through a devastated American landscape battling both starvation and cannibals.
When a crew of dirty cops is blackmailed by the Russian mob to execute a virtually impossible heist, they realize the only way to pull it off is to manufacture a 999, police code for officer down . The chaos that ensues when a police officer is shot in the line of duty is just the diversion they'll need to do the job, but whether they have the will to kill one of their own is an entirely different matter. Their plan is turned upside down when the unsuspecting rookie they set up to die foils the attack, triggering a breakneck, action packed finale tangled with double-crosses, greed and revenge.
In the harsh, unforgiving landscape of the Outback, Charlie Burns (Guy Pearce) is presented with an impossible proposition by local law enforcer Captain Stanley (Ray Winstone). To save his younger brother Mikey from the gallows he must track down and kill Arthur (Danny Huston), his psychotic older brother. While Charlie is forced to choose between revenge, loyalty and his own conscience, Stanley, having given up a civilised life in England, is determined to impose law and order and shield his innocent wife Martha (Emily Watson) from the brutalities of their new surroundings. A palpable sense of foreboding festers against the oppressive heat, as each character takes on their punishing moral dilemmas and the inevitable cycle of violence reaches its bloody conclusion.

Blu Ray steelbook
Australian romantic author Kate (Rachel Griffiths) believes her own lovelife has taken a fairytale turn when she meets the rugged Jack (Tcheky Karyo) who has left his Papua New Guinea home to visit the mainland. Returning to his remote island retreat Kate begins to suspect Jack is not the man of her dreams after all: in fact his obsessive desire for her leads her to believe the death of his previous wife had not been an accident. Nick Cave and two of his Bad Seeds Blixa Bargeld and Mick Harvey provide the soundtrack.
Tommy and his wife Barbara are getting a divorce. Or so it would seem until one day Tommy's father passes away and leaves an inheritance for he and his brother Sean totaling 20 million dollars. But in order for Tommy and his wife to claim their portion they must spend the weekend together.
Captain Stanley (Ray Winstone) captures fugitive Burns brothers Charley (Guy Pearce) and Mikey (Richard Wilson) at the scene of bloody rape and murder. Informing Charley that he must kill his older brother Arthur (Danny Huston) in order to be set free Stanley drags Mikey to a decrepit jailhouse while he waits for Charley to carry out the deed... Director John Hillcoat's second collaboration with melancholic musician Nick Cave (here contributing the film's screenplay and soundtrack) is a taut character study of desperation amid the mesmerising backdrop of the 19th century Australian outback.
