When you have a lineup as impressive as “Lawless” has, it's easy to understand why the movie studio would want character posters for each star in it. Feast your eyes on the gallery below.

The Western drama tells the story of two bootlegging brothers (Shia LaBeouf and Tom Hardy) who blur the line between villain and hero as they stand up to forces bigger than they are.

A first trailer came out some weeks ago, and we now have several character posters out, meant to drum up attention for the August 31 release.

Well done, we're all eyes and ears.

The film also stars Guy Pearce and Gary Oldman as villains, and you just know that they'll be doing their best... to be bad.

Mia Wasikowska and Jessica Chastain provide a more feminine touch to the story, but don't let yourselves be fooled: they're just as bad as the guys.
