Review of Bronson (2009) by Steve H — 08 Aug 2012

Apparently based on a true story about Mickey Peterson who went by "Charlier Bronson" hard for me to think that there is someone out there who is THAT fucked up in the hear. But I guess there is, the movie has very well crafted directing from noneother than Drive director, Nicolas Refn. He gives in some amazing visuals that are both artsy, beautiful and yet gritty and disturbing. Refn is a true auteur, has his own way of telling his story and has a unique style that only he can pull off. This movie isn't without it's great performances, mainly from Tom Hardy. Yeah well he's always good but then again this movie shows how intimidating he can be.

The movie is got a 1980's feel to with a kick ass song played in it by Glass Candy. Not to mention it's darkly funny as well, it causes one to laugh even though it's inappropriate to. It has no shame in what it is, it doesn't aim to be socially acceptable much like the main character. Refn is making a name for himself. I love this movie, a must watch.
