Review of Bronson (2009) by Ben L — 04 Apr 2013

Well acted and presented this is a true story about a man who has trouble with his temper and violence. Bronson is a fairly likable and intelligent fellow when he's not on a psychotic violent kick which he is always on the verge of. The film shows his life put together in movie scenes and although entertaining and well acted/directed the film doesn't tell you a lot about him, maybe because there isn't a lot to tell.

Perhaps Charlie Bronson still has a final act to his life and will redeem himself and have a more interesting ending, the film ends with him still in prison and that is where he stays, for now. this film is worth seeing for it's historical accounting of Charles Bronson and it's fine lead performance.
