On paper it doesn't sound too exciting. A successful business and family man's Ivan Locke (Tom Hardy) life is changed for ever by a phone call, a woman he had a one night stand is giving birth to his child, he makes the journey to be by her side, this film is the course of that journey as his life as he knows it starts to slip through his fingers.
The entire movie is set inside the interior of Locke's car, this is movie making at it's simplest, and most powerful, Tom Hardy puts in an incredible shift as Locke, a mesmerizing performance from an actor at the top of his game, you are a passenger in the car witnessing a man's life implode in this top quality piece of film-making.
