Locke: 10 Reasons It's The Most Awesome Boring Film You'll Ever See

10. Oddly Brilliant Cast For The Phone Voices

It must be said early on that the cast for this film is terrific. However, 'cast' is probably a strong word €“ aside from the opening moments when we see Hardy's Ivan Locke walk off a building site, we're stuck with just one man for the entirety of proceedings, and the only way anyone else gets a look-in is as a voice channeled through his hands-free set. So it'd be a reasonable assumption that you could phone it in slightly on the supporting players, right? Not so. Strangely, there's a wealth of talent being transmitted through Locke's in-car speaker system. You've got peerless TV queen and Tyrannosaur star Olivia Coleman as Bethan, the woman Locke inadvertently impregnates while working away, Ruth Wilson €“ Alice from Luther €“ as his cuckolded wife Katrina, and House Of Cards' Ben Daniels as his boss, Gareth. Oh, and Moriarty himself, the BAFTA-winning Andrew Scott, as Locke's underling-turned-reluctant-project-leader Donal. Hell, even Locke's kids have good CVs, with The Impossible's Tom Holland and Son Of Rambow's Bill Milner lending their pipes to the family anguish. Needless to say, it adds a level of class to proceedings, giving the already excellent Tom Hardy (more on him later) plenty to bounce off as things start to fall down around his ears, and augments the already strong, suspenseful script with further quality.
