What to Know

Critics Consensus

A one-man show set in a single confined location, Locke demands a powerful performance -- and gets it from a never-more-compelling Tom Hardy.

... despite its uncertain themes, Hardy's consuming performance is too fascinating to miss. Go to Full Review Richard Corliss TIME Magazine 01/05/2015
[Hardy's performance is] the reason you'd see Locke, and the reason you may remember it fondly, long after the ride ends. Go to Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy Nov 5

It’s a testament to writer-director Steven Knight’s skills that we feel we learn a lot about the characters in what out of necessity are pretty broad brushstrokes. Go to Full Review JD Duran InSession Film 08/19/2024

By year’s end, this will still be one of the more important films we see all year. Go to Full Review Sean Axmaker Stream on Demand 08/19/2022
British filmmaker Steven Knight wrote the tough, lean, uncompromising scripts for 'Dirty Pretty Things' and 'Eastern Promises.' Locke is just as uncompromising, but what’s at stake here is the measure of a man faced with a difficult decision Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Louie L @amilou Jan 10 I LOVE Tom Hardy. He’s such a talented actor. I’ll watch anything he’s in. I can’t believe I’m saying this… but the director should NEVER have made him play this part trying to do an Irish accent!!!! It’s TERRIBLE!!! Oooooooooh my PERFECT Tom Hardy has a fault!!!! 😭😭😭 😂😂😂 Other than that I LOVE this film!!! Absolutely a MUST-SEE!!! See more Charlene S @whitjake Jan 8 What happens when a man defines himself so narrowly that one moral rule is worth burning his entire life for? I just don't understand this whole movie. I don't know of anyone that would risk their entire life for another person that he has no feelings for whatsoever. See more landon S. @lbgold Dec 16 I love stories about other people’s lives. This is a great example of what someone can go through, but it could have failed horribly. Hardy is a generational great and it shows in this film. Its art. See more Pupunala D. @pupunala Nov 30 My boi James didn’t approve this movie See more Danilo P Aug 10 A compelling and engaging story, unravelling one phone call at a time. I felt really involved, both in Locke's family and personal vicissitudes, and in all that concrete drama. Yes, you'll be watching Tom Hardy driving his car and making phone calls for an hour and a half. Don't be put off by this: it's a masterpiece of a movie. See more thiago s @Thiagostone Aug 4 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Read all reviews
