Tom Long
"Locke" is one riveting film.
Moira MacDonald
For the most part, it works like gangbusters.
Rene Rodriguez
As intriguing as Hardy is to watch, the picture can't overcome its cinematic-stunt vibe.
Lisa Kennedy
The crises Ivan Locke faces with a tremendous will to do the right thing strike a chord. The mistakes that have him in the driver's seat, but hardly in control, are terribly human and all too familiar.
Liam Lacey
Knight's strength is his writing, and arguably, Locke would be almost as good set on a stage with a man sitting on a chair. But then you'd miss the details of Hardy's face in a film that is all about an actor's vehicle.
Steven Rea
A man, a car, a hands-free mobile device. And it is extraordinary.

Wesley Morris
The film feels like an exercise in dramatic style, and maybe that's enough for some people. But whether it's for me or for the characters, I need an exercise to generate a little more sweat.
