Locke

Locke is a brave experiment.


One character in a car for an hour and a half isn't going to be everyone's cup of tea but, trust me, it's worth going along for the ride.


Tom Hardy (with a Welsh accent!) is incredible as a construction worker and husband whose life unravels over this journey thanks to one mistake that he feels he needs to right.


A series of phone calls propel the plot and give the film a gripping sense of urgency.


My only complaints are with the slightly underwhelming ending and the use of too many 'street light blurring' window shots (although the Director doesn't have too much choice to be fair) but this is a true original and it pulls it off brilliantly.


⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
