My Review-

Tom Hardy is becoming a very popular actor these days. However this seems to be the movie that got him really noticed and I can see why, Based on the true story of London's most famous prisoner Hardy plays Michael Peterson (a.k.a Charles Bronson). I have only seen a few movies with Tom Hardy in them and those movies I thought he did a really good job as a supporting character, but here as the main character he got his chance to shine and show us what he could really do. There were a lot of things that were really good about this movie; and by that I mean how crazy of a person that the Bronson guy actually was and how well Tom Hardy played him. the most interesting scenes were where he was in front of an audience telling them about the story of his life in great detail and how he loved prison. When he would do these scenes, you could tell that he thought it was hilarious and he meant everything that he did was for a reason and how he wanted to stay there. This is one of those movies where you cannot stop watching it, because you are just waiting to see what happens next. I already recommended this movie to my mom, and i recommend this movie to be watched by others as well, to see how well of job Tom Hardy can do as a lead actor. Now I just can't wait to see him has Bane in the last Batman movie "The Dark Knight Rises".
