A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
I was not expecting much from this film, but I didn't know that much about it. All I knew was what I'd seen on the cover and read on the back, and I wasn't too hopeful. But I was bored and had some time to kill and it was worth it. I just wanted a little background noise, but this was seriously intriguing. I couldn't look away.The actor in the lead role does a phenomenal job. I will have to check out more of his work. He should win an award or something! And I read this was a true story, so it makes it all the more intriguing! I will have to look it up.
I absolutely LOVE Tom Hardy, but this wasn't my fav role of his. To each their own I suppose, i do love his ability to commit to the roles he plays..i'm a die hard hardy fan & this wasn't bad, but also not so good. Kinda...meh?? Good job portraying Bronson though. Very interesting story.. Again, not my fav character hes played. I still love him as an actor. I really can't get enough of Tom lately. He's amazing in The Revenant, Dunkirk, The Drop, Mad Max & Taboo...to name a few. I love his attitude & looking forward to seeing many more of his movies & upcoming sequels to come.
I'm not usually a fan of British films, but it's definitely one of the best British films I've seen. Strong performances, very dark, extremely violent, dangerous, but brilliant film. Bronson (2008) is based on true story about Charlie Bronson and his dangerous life.I thought Tom Hardy did incredibly amazing job for this film, he gave one of his best performance ever, and definitely in my top 5 movie performances of the year. He showed how acting is really done in this film.I gave it a 10 out of 10. If you haven't seen it, you'll love it if you are a fan of A Clockwork Orange (1971).
At first it was only the poster of this movie that captured my attention, browsing Tom Hardy's filmography, and I watched the trailer online. That same night I couldn't help searching for the movie online and watching the whole thing on my mobile phone. There was not one moment through the movie that I felt distracted or bored, to the contrary of that I did not want to blink so that I wouldn't miss one split of a second of Tom Hardy as Charlie Bronson. The movie did not try to give reasons or justifications of why Charlie Bronson was so self destructive, enjoyed violence and pain and preferred solitary confinement over freedom.There is no logic that you can wrap your head around watching Charlie Bronson portrayed by Tom Hardy, going to prison for armed robbery on a post office, receiving 7 years in prison and ends up being locked away for 34 years, 30 of which are in solitary confinement. You certainly will not find a rational explanation why he would suddenly take a hostage just so that he would start a confrontation with the guards, then strips naked and wait for them to come so that he would beat them up and eventually ends up overpowered, bleeding and in agony.The theatrical comic way which the director adopts in filming this movie helps to lighten the violence and brutality of Bronson yet it also helps bring to life his true nature and a depiction of what was going through his mind. I must say, I found myself laughing with confusion as Bronson prepares to torture these poor guards yet once again. Tom Hardy definitely put his heart and soul into this character, going all the way to stripping naked (full frontal), ramming himself naked into a dozen prison guards, sparing no small details to depict the real raw existence of Charlie Bronson. In the end you don't really know how to feel about Bronson, as he never committed murder though he had ample opportunities to do so which would imply that he might not be as evil as one would expect, at the same time his unexplained and un-triggered incline to violence wins your empathy as well as fear of him.
