A Prison Flick Done Right

Very well done film based on Britain's most dangerous prisoner. Tom Hardy delivers an amazing performance as Michael Peterson, a small time criminal who was supposed to do 7 years for a robbery but wound up doing 34...30 in solitary confinement.

When Michael adopts his "fighter name," Charles Bronson (suggested by a prison mate), the film quickly becomes one of the more original prison dramas, full of off-beat humor and some surreal self-narration from Bronson.

The Objectfilms DVD comes with a nice making-of featurette and a separate soundtrack CD.
