Bronson

I was excited to see this film after weeks of talking with my friends about it. 'Bronson' was a surprise but not a disappointment. The film was a look into the events which have lead to his 34 year incarceration of Micheal Peterson  AKA 'Charles Bronson'. The story of his roller coaster time in prison was interesting but not breathtaking, however Tom Hardy's epic performance as a crazed and tortured soul of 'Bronson' was amazing. He was extremely convincing and delivered some unforgettable lines. What also amazed me was the physical transformation of Tom Hardy from his much slimmer character in 'RocknRolla' as 'handsome Bob'. 

In the film 'Bronson' continually narrated the sequences of events through an interesting switch to an old styled theatre scene where you see him physically performing to a crowd as the entertainer he thinks he is. This is where i feel the film was outstanding. 

 This film deserves credit for tackling a real story with such creativity and flair. Its a must see and another example of outstanding British cinema.
