Locke.

On paper this should have been the cinema equivalent of an hour and a half in the company of Andy Murray.. I wonder how they pitched it..? A man driving in his car, on the phone.. And that's it.. For an 90 minutes..
It's testament to Tom Hardy's performance that it worked. He plays Ivan Locke, a 'married with kids' concrete layer who, on the evening of the biggest project of his career sets off in his car to London. Over the course of the film and the numerous phone calls he makes/receives his life unravels...

It wasn't what I expected.. Judging from the trailer I was under the impression he was fleeing a crime scene.. I won't say anymore but I was genuinely gripped and enthralled... And all down to Tom Hardy's performance..
Another thanks to the unlimited card.. I would never have paid to see this.. But, again I'm glad I did..
Another excellent Tom Hardy ****.
