Liam Gaughan is a writer at Collider with a passion for classic films and the work of Steven Spielberg and Martin Scorsese.
It almost goes without saying that Tom Hardy is one of the best actors working today. Ever since breaking out in a small role in Ridley Scott’s brutal modern war epic Black Hawk Down, Hardy has been drawn towards ambitious projects from highly respected filmmakers. Hardy is known for radically reshaping his body and playing intense characters caught in dangerous positions. However, Hardy’s voice has also become a subject of fascination for many of his fans.
Hardy captures the mannerisms of an English everyman who becomes burdened by the poor decisions he made during a stressful period of his life. It’s to Hardy’s credit that Locke succeeds as a compelling drama about dysfunctional families, even though it's entirely set within the confines of a car.
Release Date August 29, 2012 Cast Shia LaBeouf , Tom Hardy , Jessica Chastain , Guy Pearce , Gary Oldman , Mia Wasikowska Runtime 115 Writers Nick Cave 8 ‘Legend’ Directed by Brian Helgeland Legend just may be the single bravest performance of Hardy’s career, as he had to play two completely different characters who interacted with each other on screen. The film is based on the incredible true story of the brothers Ronald and Reggie Kray, who dominated the London underworld in the 1960s.
7 ‘The Drop’ Directed by Michaël R. Roskam The Drop is best remembered as the final film of the great James Gandolfini, who proved he could play a gangster who was very different from Tony on The Sopranos. Gandolfini stars as the shady bar owner Marv, while Hardy plays the role of his cousin Bob, who is trying to avoid returning to the criminal world. Hardy pulls off an impressively accurate New York accent that never feels distracting within the film’s realistic approach to crime.
Hardy co-stars as a fighter pilot whose voice is muffled for the entire film. His lines are intelligible but detached; instead, his eyes do the heavy lifting, communicating what his words don't. Even though he is one of the main characters, he never interacts with any of the other actors on screen. Hardy’s storyline is one of the most emotional in Dunkirk, as the pilot is truly risking his life to ensure that the soldiers can safely escape from the beach.
3 ‘The Revenant’ Directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu Based on a highly disturbing true story that was later adapted into a novel, The Revenant is one of the greatest revenge films ever made. Hardy stars as the selfish tracker John Fitzgerald, who flees from justice after brutally murdering the son of his former ally Hugh Glass . Hardy’s voice reflects Fitzgerald’s ambiguous origins, as his accent combines the influence of Philadelphia and Southern influences.
