Locke is a gripping tale about a mid-age man who's currently on the verge of a psychotic breakdown because of several reasons in his professional as well as personal life and now a series of phone calls through the Bluetooth of his vehicle is about to change his life forever.
The premise did sound catchy enough I agree, but what made it all click is the writing of the dialogues and especially the way Tom Hardy delivers them. When you have the camera right at your face for almost the entire duration, you have no other option but to be on your toes all the time. Not to mention, as the only visible actor you would be expected to put in some extra efforts to keep us, the audience engaged, or else, things could go sideways at any given moment.
Don't worry, Tom Hardy did his job alright! He knew exactly what he had to do. Despite the repetitive nature of the plot periodically setting in; it's because of Mr Hardy and Hardy only that I didn't lose my attention. It's truly a one-man show and I love when Tom Hardy flexes those thespian muscles of his.
P. S. Here Tom Holland gave his voice to the role of Eddie, the son of Tom Hardy's character. Tom Hardy plays the role of Eddie in Venom who is supposed to be the adversary of Spider-man played by Tom Holland. What a coincidence right?
