TABOO was my favorite this year to date. I stumbled upon it, not liking the looks of the picture, I almost didn't watch it. Lucky for me I gave it a try! The music was beautiful. I found someone on YOUTUBE that played the entire score and it is incredibly moving. So I guess Tom Hardy is my "best" actor this year and can't wait to see it again, even the re-runs, however I don't like paying for those since I already paid through my cable company! And by the way, I never had a problem with the speech, I didn't think he mumbled but if you have a hard time just turn on your cc . My funnest new saying " I have a use for you "

Ridley Scott's eye for detail is spot on as always visionary , Tom Hardy is just fun to watch , sometimes he takes a chance and it dont pay off . This isn't one of them Tom and his Father crafted a great story and filled their vision with the appropriate talent . @ candylawson you were thinking Lawless and he did grunt forever in that flick . As someone frm that area of the world his preformance was a lil off lol but tons of fun to watch so it kinda worked 😅.

OMG! OMG! Tom absolutely ROCKS my world!! So sexy with all of his unique charisma that my boyfriend was actually jealous because I could not take my eyes away from the television! TABOO is extremely sexy, dark and deep on so many different levels that unless you are a broad-minded person, you may not have the taste in which this show DEFINATELY requires in order to acquire..
