This guy has quickly become one of my favorite actors. He has an incredible talent for acting. I watched Bronson over the weekend and I was very impressed with his performance. There was way too much Hardy dick in it but even Charlie Bronson said that he was eerily similar to himself. Hardy was great in Inception, TDKR, and a movie I think is underrated, the Warrior. He has numerous lead or co star roles coming up which will be amazing:

Leo Demidov (Child 44)
Max Rockatanasky (Mad Max)
Al Capone (Cicero biography on Al Capone)
Elton John (Rocketman biography on Elton John)
He will also be in the Suicide League and rumored to be in the new Splinter Cell movie.

That movie is awesome, yes. But yeah he is an extremely good actor will be highly talked about in the next few years.

He's awesome. He has a pretty cool role in Season 2 of Peaky Blinders. I loved him in Warrior. He was so good, that I kept forgetting it was him.

He was amazing in The Drop.

Watched Warrior this weekend for the first time. Damn. That guy was intimidating as hell.

One of our current favorite actors.

Him and Leto in Suicide Squad... Really hope they get some screen time together.

Can't say I see him as a legit Capote. Tough role to pull off IMO

If you guys haven't seen him in Bronson, check that one out. That's when I discovered him.

I forgot all about Lawless. He was great.

HeadChange, have you seen Bronson? I don't think many actors could pull off that performance as convincingly as he did. Crazy fact the mustache he has in the movie is Charlie Bronson's actual mustache hair.

I watched it, and not saying he didn't deliver a great performance, but the movie as a whole just didn't do it for me. I got bored about halfway through and started doing other things with it on in the background. He is a very good actor though and I'll usually watch anything he's in

He was great in Warrior. His character made me uncomfortable. Made me think of the unstable juice box guys that you read about getting their sneaker stepped on in a bar and one punching someone into brain damage.

I don't know, I kind of thought there was just enough Hardy dick in it.

His performance in "This Means War" changed the film industry forever. A truly once in a lifetime performance

I watched Warrior last week and he was a beast in that movie. Great in Peaky Blinders too. I'm going to check out Bronson and The Drop soon.

I do need to watch The Drop. "This Means War" was truly the highpoint of his career....

I could be completely off but I kind of think that his career is everything that Mark Wahlberg wanted. Mark has been in some great movies but now he is just doing stupid action comedies or comedies.

You need to watch Locke.

This. Seriously good movie, and he knocks his performance out of the park.

It did get a little full halfway through. What kept me engaged was the scene where half of his face was normal and the other half of his body was painted. That was so bizarre that I had to keep watching.

I do truly believe this man will win an Oscar in the next couple of years.

A lot of people don't know he was a scrawny kid in "Black Hawk Down".
