Locke (2014)

Did you people see the same film I saw?

Beautiful, moving film.

Absolutely Fantastic

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

I wanna start with Tom Hardy. He gave us one of his best performances, if not the best. A car, a cellphone and that's it basically.For me this movie is all about doing what's right!He does not love the mother of his child, but he did all that because it's was right He fixed his work problems from miles away, because it's was right.He told the truth to Katrina. Yes, he cheated, but he faced his problems and did everything in his power to make things work. He could've just pretend that the child never existed.But, unlike his father he did what was right.A simple review on this great movie. 10/10

What a dull let down of a film. I expected at least a decent thrilling story but this was just Tom Hardy talking to angry British people for 85 min. If you're gonna try the one setting claustrophobic minimalist route, at least make it interesting. I love Tom Hardy but this was easily the worst thing he has ever bent apart of.

LockeThe accuracy, morality and the strong will power that is implanted in the protagonist made it essential for it to converse alone to its shrink which is brought into limelight through its complex issues with his journey. Stephen Knight; the writer-director, focuses on building up the character's perspective to a point where every fictional theory justifies its rational or irrational decision. The execution is quite smart especially when it had to fill those little gaps between the calls, that helps the audience breathe and account in, the emotion and the thought processing questions raised in here. Tom Hardy is stunning in here mainly because the equation projected with each individual characters is never piled up in here, by his performance even though this chaotic night has a strong effective impact on him (his character shows the affection of the writer towards it). Locke is a rare cinematic feature, that resembles a lot with an old classic theatrical play, as its originality and soul not only touches the audience but communicates easily with them.

This story is remarkably well told in a movie that hapens entirely in a motor car driven by a man that talks one after another on the phone dealing wth several troubles he got in his life because of a momentary fancy with a woman that he met once and whom he rendered pregnant in one night when because of his job he was away from home. He abandons his work pecisely on a moment he is most needed there because there is a very important delivery which he should have been surviving. He is fired from his job, his wife after knowing what he had done forbids him to return home where he lives with her and their two children. and breaks their marriage Everything because he gets a phone cal from the woman he had rendered pregnant telling him she is in the maternity to have a baby of whom he is the father and is very distressed and has nobody ( friends or relatives) to stay beside her. He starts then a long trip by car to the London maternity where she is because he feels morally obliged to stay beside her though he doesn't love her. He is a normal good family man after all, And the news coming from the maternity are not good. The childbirth has got a serious problem and a caeserian operation must be made.The whole movie develops itself on a succesion of phone calls some of them afflictive and intensively dramatic that he must attend or call and talk to, to or from the pregnant woman, the maternity doctor and nurse, or to or from his wife, or to or from his job, trying to solve on the phone all the problems that arise. But he gets informed that he is fired. Despite the fact that the whole movie runs all the time only with one person driving a car and talking on the phone it is full of overwhelming suspense till the end.
