Locke (2014)

Trying to make a good minimalist film set in one location is hard, but this film manages to do it rather successfully. This is of course down to Tom Hardy's great performance holding the film together along with it's well written script. It's not necessarily a great film but its definitely a solid one and I have heaps of appreciation for it managing to be a success.
Now this is the type of film that most people will go to see just because Tom Hardy is in it but end up hating it, much like Only God Forgives with Ryan Gosling and Under The Skin with Scarlett Johansson (believe me, I've had quite a few people in all these screenings like it). But I suppose if you want something more than just 85 minutes of some guy driving then your probably not gonna enjoy this film much. But for those that like films that try things a bit differently, then it's worth checking out. Simple, effective and super solid.
