Director: Brian Helgeland
Starring: Tom Hardy, Emily Browning, Taron Egerton
Release: September 11th, 2015
Two Tom Hardys are better than one, that’s just math. He can literally do no wrong, he’s the hottest thing in Hollywood, and this should be nothing other than a home run. The trailer itself looks cool, and with Helgeland on board I’m on board. The guy’s done a bit of everything, though his directorial resume is just OK. It’s his screenwriting, which he does here as well, that deserves some applause. L.A. Confidential, Conspiracy Theory, The Postman, Payback, A Knight’s Tale, Blood Work, Mystic River, Man on Fire, Robin Hood, 42; he wrote ’em all. Pretty impressive. I’m in.
