Mark Olsen, LA Times

"IT WILL KNOCK YOU FOR A LOOP. Brilliant. Electrifying. Amazing stuff."

Peter Travis Rolling Stone

"The film is dominated by the bald, snarling and oddly charming Tom Hardy and it's attitude is presented with unnerving relish and flair by director Refn."

A.O. Scott, NY Times

Synopsis

In 1974, a misguided 19 year old named Michael Peterson decided he wanted to make a name for himself and so, with a homemade sawn-off shotgun and a head full of dreams he attempted to rob a post office. Swiftly apprehended and originally sentenced to 7 years in jail, Peterson has subsequently been behind bars for 34 years, 30 of which have been spent in solitary confinement. With an intelligent, provocative and stylized approach, BRONSON (based on a true story) follows the metamorphosis of Mickey Peterson into Britain's most dangerous prisoner, Charles Bronson.
