Locke

...for something to get better but it never does?

Pointless dribble about a total screw-up. Abandons his family, job and a promise made to someone he cares nothing about.

8.4 out of 10Surprising in almost every aspect, I went into this film knowing barely anything about it and was treated to one of the most strangely gripping and perfectly written stories I've seen.

At the beginning of the film he says they are pouring 350 metric tons and later on their order is for 6500 cubic meters of concrete. The numbers don't make sense even if they were the other way around, say 350 cubic meters equal to 6500 metric tons which is still low, more like 8400.

My review of the inventive indie film "Locke" will be lock and pun loaded, so if puns steer you wrong, I guess I suggest you to put it in reverse. But in moving forward, I must state that Writer-Director Steven Knight's movie was as innovative as they come.

No words at all. Without pausing a second i watched the movie.

There was no complex score/soundtrack, there was no cgi, only one on screen actor, and there was only one location, but it hooked me.Brilliant writing in this picture because I felt claustrophobic in the car as Ivan was trying to control several important aspects of his life when in reality he had very little control over anything but the car he was stuck in.

I can only say we have to appreciate such work of arts since in the modern era of over-exploitation money took over all the popularity of the cinema. It is very obvious that the movie depends on a very limited budget, which I like the most when it comes to cinema, because it is not just for entertainment, or it is not all about marketing and sales.
