Reviews
Believe it or not, that is the German title of the movie. The actual title, I did not translate that. I guess they wanted to make sense of the word "Locke", so why not call your movie something or other. You obviously know where this is playing and the movie does not make you wonder, if there is a change in pace or not. The story is driven forward (sorry for the pun).
It's sometimes weird hearing Tom Hardy speaking, because it sounds like his voice is breaking and he goes into Bane mode. Only if you've seen "The Dark Knight rises" obviously. He did an incredible job there and he's doing a phenomenal job here too. He has to here, because we are with him during his journey (again sorry). It's a movie for people who can digest little action in a confined space, while drama is going on .. everywhere. A neat and nice little movie, that is convenient at times with calls, but that is forgivable ...
