In the mesmerizing thriller “Locke”, we follow a man as his life threatens to crumble into oblivion on a drive home. Tom Hardy (Inception), in a powerful performance, plays Ivan Locke, a construction foreman who is in charge of one of the largest building sights in London. The story begins with Locke leaving his job after a hard days work. Speeding home in his SUV, everything seems fine until a distressing call on his mobile phone throws his world into disarray. From that moment on Locke must deal with multiple calls from concerned parties, hostile business associates and his alarmed family, as he is forced to make critical decisions on the road that could affect his life forever. One man in a vehicle with the weight of the world on his shoulders, Locke will keep you on the edge of your seat until its shocking conclusion. Kenneth Turan of the LA Times says, “Whip smart acting and filmmaking make “Locke” more involving than other more costly extravaganzas.”
