A very good movie

Since I kept hearing some really good things about this flick, I was really eager to check it out. Well, for once, I wasn't disappointed, that's for sure. I mean, a couple of years ago, Nicolas Winding Refn released 'Drive' which turned out to be a major cult-classic at the time but, to be honest, I thought it was a decent watch at best but the guy definitely displayed some potential and this movie was much more superior in my opinion. Indeed, it was such an intense mad piece of mayhem and I really loved the surrealistic bits he put from time to time. Of course, I was also impressed by Tom Hardy who gave here a star-making performance. In my opinion, this movie also displayed how useless the prison system actually is. Indeed, someone weak or half-way decent will be probably completely destroyed in such environment and someone bad like Bronson would only become even worse so what's the whole point then? Eventually, even if they didn't really glorify Bronson as some might think, I'm still not sure if the guy was in fact so interesting after all but Winding Refn and Hardy managed to get most of this material. To conclude,  I was really impressed by this movie and it is definitely worth a look.
