for a movie with only one person, with a phone in a car for the whole one hour and a half, it is a gripping watch. as a viewer, i was locke-d on tom hardy - trying his best to do the right thing in a bad situation that he himself had created. i questioned his motive of setting things right - the woman that he had an affair with, his wife and sons, his boss and co-workers. while he tried to justify his actions by measuring them against his father's failure to turn up, he created a web of hurt and sickness around him while staying calm, if not feeling satisfied, at how well he is handling things.
a good movie on how one tricks one's mind into feeling good despite the bad consequences of one's selfish actions. i have to say, it was great acting, great script and a very tight direction. i expect nothing less from a guy who wrote eastern promises (2007).
