To be completely honest, I knew nothing about the movie at all, other than that Tom Hardy was in it, before watching it. After the first fifteen minutes, I was beginning to wonder how much longer until he reaches the hospital? After scrubbing through the rest of the movie, I realized that the entire plot of the movie centers around the phone calls he receives on his way to the hospital. At first, I was a little upset by this, but I came to really enjoy it. The film finds a way to be engaging without much visual storytelling which I found very bold and unique. The film would have been an utter failure without an actor of Tom Hardy's caliber. He does a great job of engaging the audience with little to work with other than limited body language and his own voice. I'm not going to lie, parts of the movie were a little dull, but the uniqueness of the storyline made up for it in my opinion. This movie is definitely not for everyone, but it's a must watch if you want to look into to different types of fil making and story telling. I'm pretty unlikely to re-watch this movie any time soon, but in the end it's a worthwhile watch.
