hyped garbage

Fresh and Exciting

Blistering performances.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Not a bad one mind you but it's an experiment in minimalism. It's Tom Hardy in his car talking on the phone. That's it. If you're into that, great. If you like movies that you don't like but you like debating film theory then you will like this

I must admit to not normally being a fan of the "one man show" either in film or on stage, but this film is a welcome exception. Tom Hardy continues to impress as the actor who completely engulfs the character - flawlessly! There are several points along the plot when I worry things won't work out for this man, who's trying so steadfastly to do what's right. Virtually everyone is hurt along the way but forward he must plod, thanks to a faithless father whose shoes he swears he'll never walk in. This film is as much about the testament of how our parents affect our entire lives, well and long after childhood, as it is about doing the right thing. This is something hardwired into his psyche; he has no choice, just as he has no choice but to see to conclusion the project on the job he's SPOILERS! Just been fired from. His choices would make good conversation. Would you do what he does? Would you have the conviction? Could you even do it and risk all? Definitely something to consider. I recommend this film enthusiastically! Enjoy!

Didn't learn as much about concrete as I'd liked to have done

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.
