Bronson - Nicolas Winding Refn (2008)


          Oh Bronson, you beautiful disaster you.
I loved it. Tom Hardy goes ALL OUT for this role. His acting and Refn's courageous creativity made the film what it is. Refn created the perfect environment for us to understand this character called Charlie Bronson. From the start, we understand that his priority in life is SHOW, so we gladly rest back in our seats and allow his persona to entertain us. I love the wild theatricality Refn weaves into the plot, subsequently drawing into the character sketch of Bronson. Rather than show the audience how pitiful this man's life is, Refn pays tribute to his wishes and portrays him in a way I assume he'd be rather fond of. That's enough commentary...

Watch this movie!
