Brutal fight scenes, with a unique sense of humour throughout. Tom Hardy is brilliant and extremely memorable. One of the best movies I've stumbled upon in the last couple years.
Format:Blu-ray
Any actor who can excel at playing both this wild character and probably the greatest Heathcliff besides Olivier, deserves more credit than Tom Hardy has received. This movie has it merits but mostly because of Hardy it transcends. As to the Blu-Ray, a rough grain permeates the picture perfectly in tune with its primary character.

If you liked "Chopper", you should REALLY like "Bronson"

Charlie Bronson/Michael Peterson is quite a character. I'm told that the events and details in this film stray a little here and there from the truth, but all in all it makes for a quite entertaining look at one of the most violent prisoners in the UK's history. Actor Tom Hardy, who got amazingly buffed-up for this role, brings the right amount of humor, pathos, and dangerous zaniness to the title role.
You can't help but cheer for Charlie Bronson, though you will be glad you are doing it from a safe distance.
Bronson the man has quite a story. "Bronson" the movie is a tour-de-force of bravura and playful acting by Tom Hardy, and deserving of all its accolades. No one I have spoken with who saw this movie failed to be entertained by it.
Buy it, rent it, I don't care. Just watch it. [Big grin]

With its middle finger firmly brandished at everything our society holds dear...

To say that lead actor Tom Hardy is gonzo-brilliant is nearly as understating as the complete overlooking of his performance throughout award season. Director Refn's approach here is as viscerally punctuated and artistically daring as anything in his excellent "Pusher Trilogy."

Fascinating, humerous, and brutal

Everyone has heard of Charles Bronson. Well, THAT Charles Bronson anyway, the title character here is definitely a far cry from the hardened film hero of the same name. This Charlie Bronson was originally born Michael Peterson, who despite having a decent upbringing, grew up to be a criminal, and much, much more surprisingly. Known as Britain's most notorious prisoner, Bronson manages to capture the ferocity of the man with tongue-in-cheek humor and sheer unpredictable moments. Tom Hardy, who has been in quite a bit ranging from Star Trek: Nemesis, Layer Cake, and Rocknrolla among others, gives a star-making performance that should be seen to be believed. Besides undergoing a physical transformation in bulking up, Hardy's performance may very well be akin to what Eric Bana managed to do some years ago with Chopper, in which he ironically enough, played famous prisoner Mark "Chopper" Read. All in all, though it definitely isn't for everybody, Bronson is wholeheartedly worth your time, mainly thanks to the ferocious performance of Tom Hardy, whose stardom should most definitely (and deservedly) be on the rise.
