Locke

[Hardy's performance is] the reason you'd see Locke, and the reason you may remember it fondly, long after the ride ends.

Yes, it sounds like a gimmick. But Tom Hardy is so compelling, multilayered and terrific in the title role, this one-man show is never dull.

As you'd expect from a story that never leaves the confines of a car, Locke is intense and claustrophobic.

Hardy makes for a compelling psychological tour guide, utilizing much more than his right foot to add forward momentum.

"Locke" is one riveting film.

For the most part, it works like gangbusters.

Together, Knight and Hardy take us on an extraordinary journey.

It's an audacious picture, perhaps a bit gimmicky-but undeniably quite good, and possibly even great.

Knight's picture falls somewhere between experiment and triumph, but it ends up being as engrossing as it is because of the terrific work of Hardy as Ivan Locke.

It's a mesmerisingly watchable movie that will leave you both exhilarated and wrung out.

Writer-director Steven Knight's Locke is literally a one-man show that rests on the able shoulders of actor Tom Hardy.

Tom Hardy's visceral performance in this one-man meltdown packs more drama than a half-dozen multi-character stories.
