Brosnon is about Michael Peterson, England's most infamous prisoner, who has his name changed to Charles Bronson by his fight performer on Bronson's quest for fame.
Bronson's life was impulsive, erratic, and adrenaline-fueled, just like this movie. It was a twisted fairy-tale of possibly the greatest anti-hero who actually live. The movie is hypnotic. You cannot possibly take your eyes off of it, due mostly to Tom Hardy, who after some weight gain and humorous facial hair becomes unrecognizable from his previous baby-faced roles and immerses himself into a loud but well-spoken criminal who is as interesting as he is dangerous, or maybe because of it.
The film is very unique and creative bouncing back and forth between Bronson's life and a very eccentric one man show telling his tale. The movie itself was not my cup of tea, but there is no denying the creativity and individuality of this film. It dares to go against the grain and feels more at home among Kubrick and Scorsese pictures of the '70s. And there is no denying Hardy's performance which promises a long and amazing career from the English upstart.
7/10 The plot did not keep my interest, but Hardy was amazing and I can't fault them for trying something new.
