Bronson

(at around 1 min) The security guard in the background is visible on some scenes but does not appear on others.

On certain transitions he not there, then a few seconds later he reappears.

At (11:00) The tutor asks Charles "What's the matter, Charlie?" But in this stage of the story Charles Bronson still had his original name Michael Peterson.

He had not yet changed his name to Charles Bronson.

Large parts of the film depict events that never happened; in particular the sequence where Bronson is released 'for being sane' during the 80's (Charlie was declared sane, sent back to prison and subsequently released in 1987), goes to live in a brothel (the 'brothel' is supposed to depict Uncle Jack's flat), starts a bare-knuckle boxing career (Charlie did box but never bare fisted) and gets his 'new' name, (His boxing promoter changed his name but not officially) then proposes to a girl before being sent back to prison.

(Charlie did steal an engagement ring with the intention of proposing to his girlfriend.

Also, Charlie only met Tom Hardy on two occasions.

(at around 15 mins) While sitting on the stairs immediately before his last incident (after saying "what you know about what I fucking want"), there is a large piece of hair/lint caught in the camera's gate, on the bottom right of the screen.

These are removed digitally in post production when they happen, but was not removed in this case.

The watch which lays in the basket after Charlie is declared sane was actually made in 2008-09 and sold at Wal-Mart for around 40$ CAD.

Being a non-Brit, I had seen this on Netflix as a recommendation, and as Tom Hardy was in it and directed by Nicholas Refn, I had to check it out.I was definitely not disappointed.

I really realy wanted to like this since I love his other films like Neon Demon (am I alone?) but I didn't get it.

Tom Hardy is a revelation. Outstanding acting.

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.

There are good movies about prison and prisoners eg. The Shawshank Redemption, Natural Born Killers, Felon and so on.

Besides being the most violent prisoner in Britain's system, tom hardy as Charles Bronson in Nicolas Winding Refn's Bronson is by far the most eccentric fighter I have ever seen filmed.When a friend of mine described a scene from Bronson to me, he made Hardy sound like ten times the beast that he actually is in this film so when I bought it and popped it in to the player expecting Jackie Chan, I was pleasantly surprised by how much of the opposite I got.

Very difficult to watch, an intense gruelling experience told in a dreamlike fashion, exploring Bronson's frustration at his seeming endless cycle of self-destruction.It is an intelligently made film, however there is an emphasis on style over substance resulting in a string of memorable set pieces, which although comedic at times do little to elaborate on the story.

Tom Hardy did a great job and the film was great fun, but it became quite repetitive over the 92 minute run time. Bronson's actions became quite predictable and didn't change as a character, but as this is loosely based on a real man's life, it makes since that we didn't see change.

A film can be good in spite of a bad performance, but a good performance rarely provides enough compensation in an otherwise weak film. 'Bronson' claims to follow the title character through his years of crime and incarceration in Britain, but it is more accurately described by Roger Ebert: "92 minutes of rage, acted by Tom Hardy.
