About
You’ll likely enjoy Bronson if you want a gritty, brutal character study driven by a powerhouse performance and an increasingly bizarre tone, but Not for you if you want a feel-good story, or if A Prayer Before Dawn and Four Lions already feel too intense.
Pros: standout Tom Hardy; dark intensity; bold style | Cons: very violent; confusing framing; repeats scenes
