Five Film Facts Lawless
Bondurant Brothers
As depicted in "Lawless," the face-bashing, bootlegging, Prohibition-era Bondurant brothers were, in fact, real. The film is based on a book written by one of their grandchildren, Matt Bondurant, who pieced together family stories with newspaper clippings and court documents, adding a bit of fiction to fill in the holes.
While the story of the Bondurant brothers' exploits and their ties to the Chicago mob are engrossing, the actors who portrayed them made some tale-worthy trouble of their very own.
