Best movie ever!
This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
This movie was horrible I love Tom Hardy. And that's the only thing keeping me watching.. this reminded me of "Buried" or "Phone Booth" the worst concepts for a movie is to be stationery like the hole movie in a coffin or a phone booth or a car.
I liked the story. Tom hardy played a character that was an emotionally detached a$$. But could not help feeling sorry for. The film gets a passing grade ( Barely) but I think It would have been better if it were 30 to 45 minutes instead of a feature film
Who would have thought I could watch Tom Hardy take phone calls for 70 minutes? If I had been told that's what I would be doing, I wouldn't have watched, but it was riveting! Maybe because every woman I've ever known acted like these women in the movie. Maybe it was his cool demeanor that I could have never had under these stresses. Anyway, it was just fascinating to watch him handle it without yelling. My favorite part was the delivery of the last line of the movie. Can't tell you or they'll make me say this is a spoiler...
For me this film is one of the major tests to see whether you are a true Tom Hardy fan. Hardy offers one of the best performances of his career in this film despite the fact that he plays a man that is simply driving his car and making and receiving phone calls. The film relies on Hardy's ability to carry the movie through its 85 minute run time and he succeeds. He perfectly captures the internal struggle of a man trying to make amends for a problem he caused. The supporting cast despite being voice roles are also good. The phone calls which are at the heart of the films plot feel real and there is never a point where you think that these are being acted.The only gripe with this film is that it's simplistic plot layout of Locke going from one phone conversation to the other can feel tedious to some viewers and the films ending while a suitable conclusion for the plot can leave people wanting more of a resolution to Locke's story.
