GamerTab That was an excellent one.

Brightlyme i know i wasted 90 mins of my life.

Portia Hilton Blistering performances.

Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

lizwoodkibworth Tom Hardy shows his brilliance in this film. He he totally engulfed by the character and acts it out in believable craziness that IS Charles Bronson. Superb film that I think only Tom Hardy could have mastered so well. I keep watch it over and over as it's so psychologically fascinating. Seeing Tom Hardy totally naked is a bonus. Lol.

benwoodard-23808 For my first review on IMDb I thought it would be for a film I truly loved, instead it is for this film. This is a film for which I can only describe as a let down. After watching Nicolas Winding Refn's 'Taxi Driver'-esque neon infused drama 'Drive', I decided to watch this film, one which I had been told a lot about. Yes, Tom Hardy is brilliant in this. He is the glue that holds this poorly structured, weakly written film together. Four of my stars are for the main man here. Tom Hardy is outstanding in this role, he perfectly portrays the maniacal and incredibly unhinged Charles Bronson, a man who has infamously been incarcerated for life in prison, despite not officially murdering a single soul, as the film may make you think. His insane outbursts bring a certain perverse glee to the viewer, yet it is a glee that is severely stricken off when he calms down, and becomes a dull narrator for the parts of his life that no one cares about. The other star is for the music. Like in most Winding Refn films the music is amazing. A haunting ambient music strikes the audience,and inter cut with Hardy's surreal pantomine-type interactions with an (imaginary?) audience, the film will chill to the bone. However it is perhaps too loose on story, and too weakly structured for a casual viewing, and more one for those with a deeper interest in Britain's 'most expensive inmate'. 5/10

framptonhollis "Bronson" tells the violent and shocking story of Michael Peterson (who nicknamed himself Charles Bronson, after the famous action movie star), who has been hailed as Britain's most infamous and notorious prisoner. This film depiction of his life showcases violence at its most barbaric, completely deglamorizing it to a point of horrific brutality that is at times extremely difficult to watch. One critic hailed this film to the the "Clockwork Orange" for the 21st century, which I can certainly agree with. Tonally and stylistically, this film certainly does borrow quite a bit from the Kubrick classic, blending elements of surrealism and humor with terrifying violence and haunting narration from the film's vicious anti hero.While this is a brutal film, it is at times a surprisingly beautiful film. Nicolas Winding Refn is a master of visuals, and the musical score of this film is absolutely superb. Not to mention, Tom Hardy's performance as Bronson is spine chilling, funny, and brilliant!This is a compelling and sickening little movie that will both fascinate and horrify.

Sam Fischer Tom Hardy really stole the show in Bronson, as he has his best performance. Based on individual performances, I enjoyed him more in this that anything else, including Bane or the Revenant. He plays Charlie Bronson in this dramatization of his life story. Tom Hardy plays this role to its fullest. He is an intimidating, powerfully, unpredictable character that seems to just be out for a good fight. He doesn't really care about consequences or what could happen to him at all, as he just seems run by a controlled impulse of sorts. The theme is set up by introducing Bronson and showing us what he did wrong to get into prison in the first place. From there, he wreaks havoc in the prison until his release. He then finds his niche in the world as an underground fighter until he goes back to prison. The movie is narrated by Bronson himself as a one man play. It really shows insanity in the character as he describes what he went through and why he ended up where he did. By the end, you actually feel bad for Bronson. He is a crazed criminal who assaults anyone he can and causes problems for everyone he gets involved with. But he seems tortured. He is stuck in prison long past he ever should be even though he never committed a murder or anything close to justifying his sentence. He is mentally and physically tormented. Who do you feel sorry for? Watch for yourself, and see Tom Hardy in his masterpiece. 9/10.
