Review of Locke (2014) by Themillz1988 — 05 May 2014

I really enjoyed 'Locke'. It's a great example of how good a minimalistic film can be if done properly with a solid core idea. Tom Hardy is the only character we see on screen, and he is great. There were a couple of occasions I felt he went a little bit over theatrical but he held the film together superbly and added another great performance to his work so far. The supporting cast were actually very convincing, despite only being heard and not seen.

All in all 'Locke' is a solid film, perhaps not a film for everyone as I expect some viewers will be put off by its simplicity. That said, it's running time is short so most should find it entertaining enough to hold their attention for an hour and a bit.
