Very intense - and yet the movie is essentially about a man driving a car whilst making and receiving telephone calls. A "talking heads" movie with only a single talking head, as the other actors are voice actors speaking over the telephone line.
And yet despite this simplicity, Tom Hardy manages to convey a great deal of emotion whilst speaking in a very calm Welsh accent, (or at least the accent of a Welshman who has been living in England for a long time), playing a man who has made a momentous decision to do the right thing and is now attempting to deal with all the consequences that flow from that decision.
It seems such a simple premise for a film - but at the same time it simply works very well indeed. Highly recommended.
