BRONSON
See this movie when ever you get the chance. It’s brilliant.
In 1974, a hot-headed 19 year old named Michael Peterson decided he wanted to make a name for himself and so, with a homemade sawn-off shotgun and a head full of dreams he attempted to rob a post office. Swiftly apprehended and originally sentenced to 7 years in jail, Peterson has subsequently been behind bars for 34 years, 30 of which have been spent in solitary confinement. During that time, Michael Petersen, the boy, faded away and ‘Charles Bronson,’ his superstar alter ego, took center stage. Inside the mind of Bronson - a scathing indictment of celebrity culture.
Tom Hardy’s performance as Bronson was epic. I’ll be making sure I catch anything he’s in from now on, he was that good. This film has the same kind of vibe as RocknRolla & Lock Stock. So if you enjoyed those I’m sure you’ll get a kick out of this.
