MobLand Star Tom Hardy’s Crime Thriller Officially Leaves Free Streaming Soon
A streaming window is closing
As the MobLand Season 2 finale approaches, the film offers fans a crime story to consider. It is currently available on a free streaming platform, but is slated to be removed in a few days.
Tom Hardy starred in the movie soon after reaching the A-list. The film was directed by John Hillcoat and did not become a box-office breakout or earn particularly positive reviews.
A cast of rising stars
Hardy appears alongside Jessica Chastain, who had broken out with The Tree of Life, and Shia LaBeouf, then nearing the end of his Hollywood honeymoon phase. Jason Clarke, Mia Wasikowska and Dane DeHaan are also among the younger cast members.
Gary Oldman and Guy Pearce play supporting roles. The cast also includes three actors who had worked with Christopher Nolan: Hardy, Oldman and Pearce.
Bootlegging in Prohibition-era Appalachia
The story centers on three brothers operating a bootlegging business in the Appalachian mountains during Prohibition. Their enterprise draws the attention of a lawman who tries to extort them.
The film brings together a large group of familiar performers in a period crime story. Despite its reception and box-office performance, the combination of talent makes it an unusual entry in their careers.
