NO TURNING BACK.
Ivan Locke (Tom Hardy) is driving to London on a desperate mission, while also staying in touch over the phone with his family (whose lives heās about to destroy) and his co-workers (whom heās about to abandon). Steven Knightās second film as director was lauded by many and itās easy to see why. Taking place entirely in Lockeās car, it maintains tension thanks to Knightās skill (as a writer and visualizer) and Hardyās acting as his character juggles three crises at the same time. Interesting, but our commitment suffers a bit because of the destructive nature of Lockeās plight.
