The first major film by Nicholas Winding Refn, Bronson is a Dramedy with a twist. Based on Charles Bronson's mad life in and out of jail, before he spent 33 years in solitary confinement, his artwork and his feelings towards life.
Much like The Joker, there is no method to his madness. He is not mad in fact, he is as sane as many. He just chooses to be the 'madman', using his huge body strength to tear through men like a duck through water.
Its a remarkable film that chops and changes back and forth from dramatization to stage play. Its a mix of Stanislavsky's method to Brecht's alienation. Tom Hardy as always lives a role through and through, from the weight gain to the accent. Its not as good as Drive for me, although I love the similar use of soundtrack choices.
