About this movie

In 1974, a hot-headed 19-year-old named Michael Peterson decided he wanted to make a name for himself and so, with a homemade sawn-off shotgun and a head full of dreams he attempted to rob a post office. Swiftly apprehended and originally sentenced to 7 years in jail, Peterson has subsequently been behind bars for 34 years, 30 of which have been spent in solitary confinement. Starring Tom Hardy (The Dark Knight Rises) and directed by Nicolas Winding Refn (Drive), Bronson follows the metamorphosis of Mickey Peterson into Britain's most dangerous prisoner, Charles Bronson. Vertigo Films Ltd.

Hardy met and struck up a friendship of sorts with Bronson and goes literally balls out in an extraordinary performance. Refn manages to coat it in a thick layer of sleaze making it feel like an 80's video nasty. Uncomfortable, uneasy but ultimately a fitting portrait.
