The rest of the cast, including Olivia Colman and a young Tom Holland, appear in voice roles over the car’s speakerphone, as Locke juggles his professional and personal responsibilities on the road.ĭirected by Steven Knight ( Peaky Blinders, 2019’s Serenity), Locke is an impressive technical feat and an economical thriller to the bone, deftly showing off the skills of both its star and director. The 85-minute film takes place almost entirely on the drive from Birmingham to London, with Hardy the only actor to appear on screen. Locke decides to drive to London to be with her, leaving his wife and children waiting at home. The night before a massive job, he learns that a woman who he had an affair with is about to go into labor with their child. Ivan Locke (Tom Hardy) is a construction foreman in England. TEĬast: Tom Hardy, Olivia Colman, Ruth Wilson When Selene crosses paths with Michael Corvin (Scott Speedman), a human being targeted by the Lycans for some mysterious purpose, she inadvertently uncovers a conspiracy that will rock the foundations of both the vampire and Lycan worlds, forcing her to question her allegiances and choose whether the truth is worth fighting for.Ī stylish, gothic action film that rivals 1998’s Blade in its leatherbound aestheticization of supernatural horror with a surprisingly rich mythology that spawned three sequels and one prequel, Underworld is a time capsule of early-aughts franchise filmmaking prior to the era-defining phenomenon of the MCU. Kate Beckinsale stars in Len Wiseman’s horror-thriller as Selene, an elite vampire warrior working at the behest of an ancient order of immortals pitted in a centuries-old conflict against the Lycans, also known as werewolves. UnderworldĬast: Kate Beckinsale, Scott Speedman, Michael Sheen Thomas Newman’s pulse-pounding score is terrific, as is Adele’s mournful title track, which easily ranks as one of the most memorable Bond themes in recent memory.Īll of this is window dressing compared to what really makes Skyfall stand apart: a willingness to probe the psychology of a man whose reputation as an effortlessly suave ladies’ man and steadfast weapon in the service of queen and country is contrasted by an internal restless search for meaning and moral clarity. Roger Deakins’ cinematography is exquisite, especially during the film’s nighttime sequences. Then there’s Javier Bardem as a sadistic and eccentric agent saboteur with a penchant for Joker-like theatrics. Skyfall might be the best Bond film of Craig’s run due in no small part to the film’s cast, which includes pitch-perfect supporting performances from Naomie Harris and Ben Whishaw. When a terrorist bombing on MI6’s headquarters and the loss of a classified NOC list of undercover MI6 agents threatens the safety of the organization - and M’s own life - Bond reemerges to track down the culprits responsible and bring them to justice. Surviving a near-fatal wound from a gunshot ordered by M, 007 finds himself adrift in the world, unable to reconcile his newfound distrust for his longtime commander and his nascent discomfort with his role as a glorified wetworker for Britain. The film opens with Bond having been betrayed. Skyfall marks the defining moment not only for Daniel Craig’s rugged incarnation of James Bond, but also for Dame Judi Dench’s M, the connecting tissue between Pierce Brosnan’s and Craig’s tenures.
