This movie was very intriguing as the main criminal act was making a selling alcohol, which is a very foreign concept now, also how people were willing to fight and die for it. I really enjoyed the setting of the country 1930's, with all there old vehicles, clothing and ways of life. The plot was once again amazing, it was well thought trough cinematic journey that I relished in.
