In 1974, a misguided 19 year old decided he wanted to make a name for himself and so, armed with a 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, Michael Peterson has subsequently been behind bars for 34 years and transformed into Charles Bronson, Britain's most notorious prisoner.
For this controversial but critically acclaimed film from director Nicolas Winding Refn (the Pusher trilogy), Tom Hardy physically transformed himself for the role and gives a performance described by The Sun as "utterly brilliant".

Charles Bronson is more of an enigma, not much really is known about Britains most violent prisoner, so making a film about him, should lift the mystery about this character. This is a low budget film, but it offers great and stylish direction, it's also darkly funny. Massive credit to Tom Hardy as Bronson, as the riggers he went through and bulking up to portray Bronson are very impressive, and he gives a mesmerizing performance, but the film never digs any deeper on what we already knew about the life of this character, and major events such as the Broadmoor riots and kidnapping of prison guards are just brushed over. I don't know if this could be due to budget restraints, but it makes what could have been a brilliant film into a passable evenings entertainment.
Bronson is a frustraiting film as it could have been so much more.
Try before you buy!
From the director of the brilliant pusher trilogy comes bronson.
It will have you laughing one minute and bring shocked the next.
It is beautifully directed by refn, the shots in the movie are superb.
Tom hardy's performance deserves an oscar for this movie, it's one of the best performances ive ever seen in my life (and that's saying alot), he gives it 110%.
A must buy.
10/10
I bought Bronson thinking it would have more of a documentary feel but this is more of a dark comedy.
It's enjoyable enough but seems like a wasted opportunity as we never really learn much about Bronson as a person, which I was hopng for.
Tom Hardy gives us a stand out perfect performance, as total nutcase Charlie Bronson/Michael Peterson.
Hardy drives us forward with weak story. In fact he is the only thing that that stops one walking out of the cinema.
