I think the best part of Locke is the ending. At first it left me empty and unsatisfied. But the beauty of the ending shows us that this is just like real life. A man can really lose everything in his life in just an hour and a half.

Ivan Locke is going to make a 90-minute trip in his car. During this little odyssey, Locke will be involved in 30 phone calls with 8 people. And by the time he reaches his destination, his life will be completely changed in every way.

Ivan Locke made a mistake. He impregnated a depressed lonely woman named Bethan, for whom he only feels sadness and a stro...
Everything will happen inside the car. We’ll only see Locke dealing with disillusioned, desperate and angry voices. We'll never see their faces. It is not needed. It's his experience, feelings, and decisions. This whole story is a tribute to modern empiricist philosopher John Locke. If the shared surname wasn't obvious enough, "Ivan" in most Slavic...
"I want to talk about a practical next step," Ivan coldly repeats to his soon-to-be ex-wife Katrina while doing damage control. Our modern John Locke has a huge crisis on their hands. But as a good empiricist, Ivan knows that there are "very few issues that can't be resolved without careful and fair consideration of the evidence obtained through th...

It's a cinematic reaffirmation of the evolution of communications through technology. And Locke does this without entering the digital realm of instant messaging apps a...
Writer/director Steven Knight (Peaky Blinders, Eastern Promises) alongside cinematographer Haris Zambarloukos (Thor, Eye in the Sky) make wonders with their self-imposed limitations. The shots and framings decisions are consistent and, miraculously, don't feel monotonous.
