tomjtleslie I was not expecting much from this film, but I didn't know that much about it. All I knew was what I'd seen on the cover and read on the back, and I wasn't too hopeful. But I was bored and had some time to kill and it was worth it. I just wanted a little background noise, but this was seriously intriguing. I couldn't look away.The actor in the lead role does a phenomenal job. I will have to check out more of his work. He should win an award or something! And I read this was a true story, so it makes it all the more intriguing! I will have to look it up.

lizwoodkibworth Tom Hardy shows his brilliance in this film. He he totally engulfed by the character and acts it out in believable craziness that IS Charles Bronson. Superb film that I think only Tom Hardy could have mastered so well. I keep watch it over and over as it's so psychologically fascinating. Seeing Tom Hardy totally naked is a bonus. Lol.

mysticgypsyy I absolutely LOVE Tom Hardy, but this wasn't my fav role of his. To each their own I suppose, i do love his ability to commit to the roles he plays..i'm a die hard hardy fan & this wasn't bad, but also not so good. Kinda...meh?? Good job portraying Bronson though. Very interesting story.. Again, not my fav character hes played. I still love him as an actor. I really can't get enough of Tom lately. He's amazing in The Revenant, Dunkirk, The Drop, Mad Max & Taboo...to name a few. I love his attitude & looking forward to seeing many more of his movies & upcoming sequels to come.

Sam Fischer Tom Hardy really stole the show in Bronson, as he has his best performance. Based on individual performances, I enjoyed him more in this that anything else, including Bane or the Revenant. He plays Charlie Bronson in this dramatization of his life story. Tom Hardy plays this role to its fullest. He is an intimidating, powerfully, unpredictable character that seems to just be out for a good fight. He doesn't really care about consequences or what could happen to him at all, as he just seems run by a controlled impulse of sorts. The theme is set up by introducing Bronson and showing us what he did wrong to get into prison in the first place. From there, he wreaks havoc in the prison until his release. He then finds his niche in the world as an underground fighter until he goes back to prison. The movie is narrated by Bronson himself as a one man play. It really shows insanity in the character as he describes what he went through and why he ended up where he did. By the end, you actually feel bad for Bronson. He is a crazed criminal who assaults anyone he can and causes problems for everyone he gets involved with. But he seems tortured. He is stuck in prison long past he ever should be even though he never committed a murder or anything close to justifying his sentence. He is mentally and physically tormented. Who do you feel sorry for? Watch for yourself, and see Tom Hardy in his masterpiece. 9/10.
