Blackboarders who are interested can compare The Lawless via Amazon for a couple of dollars with, afterwards, The Well via YouTube for free.

The Lawless gets a meager 6.7 on IMDb, whereas The Well gets 7.2. (No Way Out gets 7.4; The Searchers gets 7.9).

The Well, IMO, is superior in every way to The Lawless, from cinematography to confronting American racism. Is the final third something of a fairly tale? I don't think so if you read about the film's origins. (See link below.) In any case, Hollywood's Dream Factory specialized in fairy tales. Notwithstanding that, The Well is far more powerful -- and cinematic -- than The Lawless, as well as more politically strong.

Watch both and decide for your selves.
