Einkunnir og umsagnir

When I saw the preview I thought this looks brilliant, Tom Hardy who is getting better and better in every film he appears in. But this one is unfortunately a bit of a dull fest. Very unfortunate. He drives a BMW X5 and that's the film set for the entire film. There's a work storyline about the concrete industry he is in, his father, his family and something else I won't reveal but all this adds up to 85 mins of boredom. Not much tension and the ending is well rubbish. There isn't one basically. Shame.

I absolutely love this actor in all his films but this was inexcusable. The whole film is shot in a car. It shows him juggling family and work commitments whilst he is driving. There are no surprises, just absolute boredom but then again how can you spice up a telephone call in a car about mundane things such as work? Please don't be tempted to rent this on the cover reviews, you will be left very much wanting.

Those saying they were bored stupid then they must have been watching something else! The storyline is the focus, a thinking person's film... Tugs a little at the heart strings in places and if you can genuinely put yourself in Tom Hardy's character's shoes or even been though similar irl, then I am sure it will resonate... A genuine human being's film, The last few generations won't get it!... Not enough CGI or make-believe!
