NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!
Spidersecu Don't Believe the Hype
Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
abderrahmanelarchi This movie doesn't contain anything important or worthy , the plot lacks twists and the end is pretty predictable. It's just about a guy driving a car and making phone calls for a hour and half , although the actor's performance was nice.
guitarsticker Maybe I'm missing the point, but this is the most boring movie of all time except for maybe Eyes Wide Shut (which at least is hot). Nothing drives this movie, and you can get the gist of it by skipping thru for 5 minutes. Highly boring. Put on if you want to sleep.
xhidden99 Not a bad one mind you but it's an experiment in minimalism. It's Tom Hardy in his car talking on the phone. That's it. If you're into that, great. If you like movies that you don't like but you like debating film theory then you will like this
jndavy Ivan Locke is a construction manager who abandons a major project (and his family) to be there for a woman at the birth of his illegitimate child from an affair. They portrayed the main character as a responsible "good guy" who had made a mistake and was trying to do his best to make things right. His stubborn insistence on doing the "right" thing cost him his job, and likely his family. Tom Hardy is the only actor on screen, the entire movie taking place in his car, the dialogue being real-time phone conversations about construction and sportsball and family wreckin' stuff. Neither the writing nor the acting was good enough to support the concept. Why didn't he tell his wife earlier? Why didn't he prioritize the wife and two children he already had while figuring out how to be a father to this new baby? His car trip was only a few hours, why didn't he just drive back to work the next day? Why was he ironing out major details of the biggest job of his career the night before? I worked as a construction manager for many years, and the dialogue about his job sounds absolutely idiotic. I suppose it might slide by anyone who hasn't spent time in construction, but it was a distraction for me and also indicative of the other flaws in the writing. The moral ambiguity and question as to whether he was a responsible person or absolute moron is what made the film interesting and kept me watching to the end, but I would really like those two hours of my life back now. Here's the real spoiler: Ivan Locke is a douche. The kind of douche who ignores the feelings of everyone around him because he insists he knows what's right. The kind of self-obsessed douche who talks on his phone while driving on the freeway because he believes everything is all about him. kept hoping there'd be a surprise ending where he was pouring his heart out to his wife making some real progress towards personal growth and BAM! Killed by an 18 wheeler because he should've been driving instead of talking on the phone. That would've been an interesting twist but alas, no. The final disappointment this film had to offer me wastjat in the end he just goes on being a douche.
