This is basically a single-room, dialogue only film. Except that the room is a car being driven from the Birmingham to London, and there is only one person in the car.
Tom Hardy plays Ivan Locke, a man organising change on his phone after making a life altering decision.
The concept does not sound promising but Steven Knight shows off his immense skill as a scriptwriter here and Tom Hardy turns in a monumental and understated performance, making this a movie that will stay with you long after the titles roll.
This is not a film to get you in the mood to go out or even to see with a group of friends and pizza, because it is not a light easy watch.
If you are in an introspective mood and want to see a thought provoking film, this will repay your time many times over.
Great writing and a great performance. I really enjoyed this.
The London Lark!
