Locke (Steven Knight & scr)

"That would be a good idea for a film" some exec somewhere along the line said, and of course it is quite a tricky one to pull off, focusing a day's drama in a car, via phone conversations. After a while you do start to tire of the (admittedly beautiful) way the lights are shot (by Haris Zambarloukos) and the different angles.

Tom Hardy's good but I wouldn't write home about it; the eagle-eared Q spotted Olivia Colman; Ruth Wilson is the wife and Andrew Scott plays Donal.

No comparison to either of Hitch's claustrophobic self-confinement exercises in Lifeboat and Rear Window.
