One of the more popular titles at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival was a prison flick with the rather unassuming title of Bronson](http://www.moviefone.com/movie/bronson/36210/main). I’d heard nothing but good things about this fact-based character study, and once I saw the flick for myself, I could easily understand why (read our review of Bronson from the Sundance Film Festival). Even if it weren’t one of the strangest and most colorful “prison movies” out there, *Bronson *would still be worth seeing for the lead performance by Tom Hardy. I believe “force of nature” is the phrase we generally use to describe this type of performance. And it’s pretty damn amazing.
Directed by Nicolas Winding Refn (he of the widely-admired *Pusher *trilogy), the film is about a petty criminal who, thanks to his own rebellious ways, turns a basic prison sentence into thirty years of solitary confinement. The film will be available through Magnet on October 9th. And we’ve got some brand-new pics to show you below!
