Spending about 34 years at prison changes the entire life of Michael Peterson, an ordinary ambitious teenager boy, who wants to affect on people and be an important one, so he tries to rob a post office, the thing that brings terrible for him, as he has been arrested and sentenced to 7 years at first, as he impersonates the personality of Bronson, his best celebrity.
Part literate black comedy, part surrealistic character study, part horror movie, Bronson is a sophisticated confection, rich and dark, sprinkled with bitter little jokes.
An overstylized mess, with a brave but pointless performance from Tom Hardy as a lifelong prisoner who just wants to destroy everything around him, most of all himself.
...the film can barely contain Tom Hardy's performance. It's a Method turn so bloodily immersive it's hard to imagine the actor getting his head straight afterwards.
