Ranking Tom Hardy’s 10 Best Performances (By How Much You Can Understand Him)
Something something Oscar nomination.
Tom Hardy is without doubt one of the finest actors of not only his but any generation. The variety of films he has put his efforts into is incredibly diverse, and because of this he brings everything he has to the screen. Hardy does not just act with his voice and his face he acts with his whole body, and brings a physicality to his performances which makes his films consistently interesting. Ranking his films is an unenviable task, so this list is about trying to look at his films in a different way. Hardy usually picks uniquely challenging roles and this means that the variety of voices and accents he adopts naturally makes the audience work in different ways. By looking at his performances purely in terms of the auditory experience, the results can paint a different picture of what his stronger films might be, and in addition to this some of his weaker films can be given credit that they might not normally be given. Keep in mind this is not an objective ranking of the quality of Hardys output. This is about having some fun with one of the brightest careers in Hollywood at the moment, and paying tribute to the scope of films Hardy has undertaken. So with that, lets judge his most notable films purely in terms of how understandable he is on screen...
