Review of Locke (2014) by Gustavo B — 07 Nov 2014
Locke is the story of Ivan Locke (Tom Hardy) a contraction foreman who is responsible of a massive concrete pour in Birmingham UK, departs from his work place for the night. His ride on the freeway is a revelation for the audience. He have a great family with two kids and a important job. But Locke have a secret. The story takes place inside Locke's car. Thru phone calls the story unfolds between Locke, his family, a co worker, his boss and a girl.
The GPS and the screens which shows the callers is the window for Ivan Lock to express his feelings, what's he going trough and where he is going. He wants to make things right this time, but a chain of problems and consequences haunt him. He wants to manage his life like he was dealing with concrete in a construction.
The film is a challenge from a filmmaker point of view. shot in less than a month during nighttime telling the story inside a vehicle.
Locke is a powerful film, beautiful shot and edited with a powerful performance by Tom Hardy.
