  Not up everyone's street but to show an audience how a crazed mind works would never be easy.

  Brutally boring!
  
  While Hardy's depiction of Bronson is somewhat uncanny, both in physical appearance and performance, it does nothing to cover up what is a dull film from ... read more »

  Terrible wanna be Chopper type movie
  
  The campest, dumbest prison film ever made by the legendary Nicholas Winding Refn.
  
  Don't bother wasting your time with this.
