Critics Consensus

A one-man show set in a single confined location, Locke demands a powerful performance -- and gets it from a never-more-compelling Tom Hardy.

It may sound dull, but it is anything but.

... despite its uncertain themes, Hardy's consuming performance is too fascinating to miss.

[Hardy's performance is] the reason you'd see Locke, and the reason you may remember it fondly, long after the ride ends.

It’s a testament to writer-director Steven Knight’s skills that we feel we learn a lot about the characters in what out of necessity are pretty broad brushstrokes.

By year’s end, this will still be one of the more important films we see all year.

A compelling and engaging story, unravelling one phone call at a time. I felt really involved, both in Locke's family and personal vicissitudes, and in all that concrete drama. Yes, you'll be watching Tom Hardy driving his car and making phone calls for an hour and a half. Don't be put off by this: it's a masterpiece of a movie.

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom
