Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever

Protraph Lack of good storyline.

Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

Fiona Can't believe I wasted an hour and a half of my life on this drivel. It was probably the worst film I have ever had to sit and watch. This is a man, in a car, on his phone talking about concrete. Oops..spoiler alert. The monotoned voice of Tom Hardy was sleep inducing. The best performance was by the car. Who thought that this would be in the slightest bit interesting??? What planet are the others on who rated this film to be good???? If it's Earth then God help us all.

tresm87 What a dull let down of a film. I expected at least a decent thrilling story but this was just Tom Hardy talking to angry British people for 85 min. If you're gonna try the one setting claustrophobic minimalist route, at least make it interesting. I love Tom Hardy but this was easily the worst thing he has ever bent apart of.

michael_balsdon For me this film is one of the major tests to see whether you are a true Tom Hardy fan. Hardy offers one of the best performances of his career in this film despite the fact that he plays a man that is simply driving his car and making and receiving phone calls. The film relies on Hardy's ability to carry the movie through its 85 minute run time and he succeeds. He perfectly captures the internal struggle of a man trying to make amends for a problem he caused. The supporting cast despite being voice roles are also good. The phone calls which are at the heart of the films plot feel real and there is never a point where you think that these are being acted.The only gripe with this film is that it's simplistic plot layout of Locke going from one phone conversation to the other can feel tedious to some viewers and the films ending while a suitable conclusion for the plot can leave people wanting more of a resolution to Locke's story.

cristiandeiana I'll start by stating the obvious, that this is an unusual movie because it's setting is restricted merely to the interior of a car, which could give the impression that it could be quite boring. In actual fact this movie delivers more suspense than many other so called thrillers that I've seen in recent years. It's a testament to the importance of good dialogue, and a well written script which delivers on many levels. I admire the character of Ivan Locke because of how he handles the many situations in the movie, it conveys a strong message in anger management, and morality. When he makes the choice to do the right thing, even though he ends up pushed into a corner he still remains calm and finds the best solution. I think it's a really good message to present in the movie, which is what compelled me to write this review. I will however say that I think the movie rates a bit lower on rewatchability, other than that it was a great watch.
