Anybody here seen it? Great movie.
Tom Hardy plays Charlie Bronson (the killer). He is amazing in this. Definitely worth checking out.

Hardy is amazing, but the movie never really goes anywhere.

Loved Tom Hardy as Bronson, dug some or Refn's flourishes, but I didn't like the movie. I was ready for it to end.

+1 But I'm still happy I saw it. It was awesome to see him snap and start breaking everything.

We, the movie was a pseudo documentary iirc, so there was only so many places it could go

I haven't seen The Master, but performances are part of the vision of a film and rarely disconnected from the framework of the movie. There have been far more bad performances in good movies than great ones in bad films.
In the case of Bronson, Refn knew exactly what he was doing. Bronson never goes through any transformation -- his life is, from day to day, unadulterated violence, and that's the thesis of the film, moreover, Hardy's performance reflects such. It just doesn't work on a thematic, narrative level, but Refn was cognizant of the fact.

Found myself doing other things and not paying attention about halfway through

Glad I watched it, but I was bored half way through the movie.
I loved Hardy in it and was the first time I became a big fan of his

I loved this movie. Agree that it never really went anywhere, but I enjoyed the randomness/madness of it all.

I just finished this movie on Netflix and came to see some other opinions. I agree with a lot of the comments. Tom Hardy was brilliant, but I wanted more out of the film. I wasn't bored like some have said, but I felt like it didn't really go anywhere.
