Movies - Take Two. Action!

Locke (2014). Stars Tom Hardy, Olvia Colman, Ruth Wilson and a pre-Webhead Tom Holland.

Think a movie that takes place entirely "inside a car" for 85 minutes won't be interesting? Think again.

Hardy plays a successful concrete foreman named Ivan Locke who, on the eve of the "biggest pour in Europe" outside a job for government/military, tries to ensure the operation runs smoothly in absentia by enabling his primary subordinate to check everything over (and to try to keep him from drinking while doing so).

Throughout the night drive (and movie), Locke also tries to salvage his marriage as well as his job. Why? You'll have to watch the film.

Tom Hardy was writer-director Steven Knight's first and only choice for the role of Ivan Locke.

Locke (2014)

Here's an interesting coincidence: "Painter" reviewed that movie four years ago – to the day.

I watched it right after that and I found it compelling.

I want to check this out. Reminds me...Have you seen the netflix original movie Wheelman from 2017? It's about a getaway driver for a bank robbery that is double-crossed. The whole movie is him in the car trying to get to his family and find who set him up. Low budget, but pretty damn solid! Really enjoyed it. I actually read that it holds a record for amount of "fuck"s ever said in a narrative film

I haven't seen it, but now I want to.

The most f-bombs, eh? I'm surprised Jay Mewes hasn't recommended it.

I saw this movie when it was new and have been looking for it on dvd lately, but had forgotten the name of it. Thanks for the reminder.
