Review by: Sherri
I...Love...Nicolas Winding Refn. He is a brilliant genius of cinema. I LOVED Drive, and...I LOVED this as well. In the opening scene, Tom Hardy, who plays Charles Bronson, breaks the fourth wall, and addresses the audience, telling that he has found his talent in life, which is, being one crazy-ass dude, the "UK's most violent prisoner". All that Bronson wanted in life was to be famous, and that he was!
I love the style of this film. The way that Refn marries music to scenes in his films is superb. And, Tom Hardy was brilliant at playing insane. I wouldn't be surprised if he is nuts in real life. Another amazing film by Nicolas Winding Refn!
