Director Steven Knight explores the life of Ivan Locke (played by Tom Hardy) gets a mysterious phone call, which changes his life. Knight never stops the thrills, non stop thrills, with excellent acting by Hardy and his amazing accent. Locke is a new movie, something other directors haven't tried before. It's a pulp, thrilling and gritty drama that is worth watching in theatres. Ignore Brick Mansions, The Quiet Ones, The Other Woman and A Haunted House 2 and watch Locke, a well directed and acted movie.…Expand

An absorbing one-man show by Tom Hardy and director Steven Knight. Everything from the cinematography, to the editing, to the camera placements, and especially the choice of actor had to be completely on-point in order to pull this off. The result was better than they could have hoped.
Un par de cámaras, un coche, unos cuantos litros de gasolina y un señor actor como Tom Hardy es lo que necesita Steven Knight para hacer una película con 4 duros de gran calidad con una increíble historia sobre el deber y la honestidad.

No es una película para todo tipo de paladares, pero quien la sepa apreciar la disfrutará mucho. Recomendada.…Expand
Whilst Locke may be a bit tedious for some, this element is overshadowed by a typically hypnotic Tom Hrady performance, a smart script, and mostly engaging plot.

He throws everything away so that he can try to keep a promise, that he doesn't even keep. Complete fail in all areas . . family, job and love child.…Expand
