Sinopsis(1)
Biopic del hombre más peligroso y desequilibrado del Reino Unido. Charles Bronson (cuyo verdadero nombre es Michael Peterson) es un preso real que lleva 36 años en prisión, la mayoría de ellos aislado de otros reclusos, por los incidentes sangrientos que ha provocado en las 120 prisiones en las que ha estado (aunque, curiosamente, nunca ha matado a nadie). Lo que más sorprende de este personaje es su extravagante personalidad. Por ejemplo, en 1994, tomó un rehén y pidió como rescate una muñeca hinchable, un helicóptero y una taza de té. En estos últimos años, se ha convertido en escritor y dibujante en la cárcel. (Movistar+)

Una gran actuación de Tom Hardy. Es increíble cómo se las arregla para no sobreactuar ni por un momento en una representación tan excéntrica de un personaje tan loco. Y retrata a ese personaje en decenas de estados mentales con reacciones absolutamente impredecibles. Es una pena que Refn en el guión no sostuviera el análisis psicológico gradual y preciso de su personaje a lo largo de la película (interactuando con nuevos personajes en nuevos entornos), y en lugar de una construcción significativa, su visión creativa se diluye en una abstracción artística repetitiva. De hecho, con su estilo único, Bronson podría haber sido el sucesor de La naranja mecánica de Kubrick.

Very well made and stylish but pointless. I don’t require films always “give me something”, but spending an hour and a half watching how a mass of raging meat goes from jail to jail without doing anything interesting is not for me, really. Hardy’s transformation is impressive, but where there’s nothing…

This portrait of a perfectly brainwashed person can hardly be considered through traditional cinematic standards. On the one hand, we have the brilliant Tom Hardy, who fully defines the term "one-man show" and on the other, the director's annoying style of pseudo-intellectual storytelling. I’d have to see it again to properly asses it, but I don't want to. I liked it and I enjoyed it, but somewhere in the corner of my brain, it was pissing me off. I have to let it sink in. In any case, I haven't seen anything more contradictory since Kelly’s Southland Tales (though that analogy will seem a bit off to many). Edit: In the end, it’s an average film. Given what I said above, that’s a solid compromise.

Bronson represents an alternative trip from the mainstream into the waters of productions mainly intended for a minority festival audience. It is strongly stylized, practically plotless, but decently entertaining and honestly acted, with an interesting Tom Hardy in the main role, who thoroughly enjoyed himself in the role of a violent thug. I wouldn't want to live in the same city as Peterson alias Bronson, let alone the idea of sharing an apartment in the same tenement house, but on the movie screen, his furious outbursts and manic ideas can bring a smile to the viewer's face. However, I wouldn't dare recommend Bronson to anyone, as it may just be too... maybe not controversial, but rather a crazy, eccentric, and difficult-to-classify original idea. There is a sense of inspiration from Monty Python's sense of mystification and absurdity, and it is also influenced by the tradition of British social comedy. It is a film that certainly won't make any impact on film history, but it has all the prerequisites to diversify mainstream film productions. Overall impression: 60%.

Bleh. A rebooted and even spasmodically independent biopic that somehow misses the point. At least I learned how to shop in a jewelry store.
