So today I watched this movie called Bronson on netflix. I had heard about it sometime in 2009ish maybe 2010...? I saw the itunes trailer and it just looked sick. Its about this prisoner with this amazing mustache.
On the left is Tom Hardy's portrayal, the right is the real dude. Essentially he is the ultimate prisoner. Beating the crap out of people excites him and he just wants to be famous. Through the help of another prisoner he gets into art and stuff so there are some neat artsy fartsy aspects of the film. However I think the main reason this movie didn't take off is because our puritanical nation isn't a huge fan of penis. This film shows Hardy's uncircumcised jimmy throughout the film, although he is usually beating the crap out of somebody when this happens so there is that. Anyone who was born in the 80's or earlier will most likely think of this guy as Charles Bronson before some British inmate that looks like the strongman in the circus.
Nonetheless, its an excellent movie and I have to give major props to Tom Hardy who gained I have no idea how much weight to bulk up for the film. Hardy, if you don't know is that english prettyboy from Inception.
Chyea, he essentially turned into brick shithouse for the role, take that Christian Bale! After seeing that, it is really no surprise Hardy is playing Bane in the next Batman. Bane, you know, Poison Ivy's boy toy that literally had hoses pumping the 'roids into his muscles.
Overall the movie was awesome. Not a whole lot of plot, but the combination of an enormous Hardy lubing up before beating the crap out of some guards mixed with the narration he provides here and there showcasing some sick acting skills, puts this film into the "need to see at least once" zone.
