3.5 stars out of 4 -- [H]is voice a comfortingly gruff burr that can turn fearsomely sardonic at the tilt of a rearview mirror, Hardy uncannily conveys the weightless pressure and the suffocating freedom that can only be felt simultaneously by a man who’s divesting himself of his entire way of life.

Rating: 8.5/10 -- Visually, Knight rises to the main challenge the man-in-a-box format presents, keeping the film visually interesting top to bottom. Full Review

3.5 stars out of 4 -- It's a powerhouse of claustrophobic suspense and fierce emotion, mostly because Tom Hardy, best known as Bane in THE DARK KNIGHT RISES, is a blazing wonder as Locke.

Rating: 4/5 -- A sensational film that demands to be seen, the double act of Knight's dialogue and Hardy's performance creates a taught, riveting thriller. Full Review

4 stars out of 4 -- In writer-director Steven Knight’s mesmerizing jewel of film titled LOCKE, Tom Hardy is so brilliant we readily watch him drive a car and talk on the hands-free phone for virtually the entirety of the film...

4 stars out of -- After 85 minutes you’ll have witnessed one man’s whole world shift its foundations while he -- and you -- were sitting still.

[W]hip-smart filmmaking by writer-director Steven Knight and his team combined with Tom Hardy's mesmerizing acting make the micro-budgeted British independent LOCKE more minute-to-minute involving than this year's more costly extravaganzas.
