A man in an existential crisis brilliantly acted by Tom Hardy. He drives alone late at night along the motorway, contemplating where his loyalties and duties lie. At the same time he imagines himself speaking with his dead father who persecuted and criticised him, and through internal dialogue and actual conversations over the phone , Locke struggles to become true to himself without losing his personal integrity. The film is beautifully shot and atmospheric, intense, clever, gripping and highly recommended.
