Tom Hardy is a revelation. Outstanding acting. Outstanding screenplay. Outstanding directing. Outstanding sets, supporting actors, and an outstanding story. Just an all around fantastic film. I will watch Nicholas Winding Refn's star with fascination. If this film is any indication, his future is very bright. Some might find this film dark, but it's simply one of the best dramas or biopics I've ever seen. Hardy's performance is Oscar worthy. I have not seen "Drive" yet, but I am definitely intrigued after watching "Bronson." Winding Refn obviously has a unique eye for storytelling. I plan to check out his other films now, too, including "Valhalla Rising." As for Hardy, he joins a talented, new crop of British actors who are blazing up the screen. I can't imagine why we haven't seen more of him in the United States. He is going to be a HUGE star.
