Excellent film. Great philosophical study.

Ivan means John which references John Locke. Film incorporates his epistemology based on experience as a source of revelation, hence, his “father” is God as Ivan has to trust his senses to determine a path of reality. In a way Ivan is blind by sight, given to rely on the testimony of others via the phone.

It’s difficult to recommend a movie where the character spends the entire runtime talking on his phone while driving, but it works 100% thanks to Hardy.

For those not familiar with it, this is most spoiler-free description. Other descriptions from popular sources give away too much.

quote:

Ivan Locke has worked hard to craft a good life for himself. Tonight, that life will collapse around him. On the eve of the biggest challenge of his career, Ivan receives a phone call that sets in motion a series of events that will unravel his family, job, and soul.

It hits you at the end when they finally zoom out and show all the other cars. Everyone has life issues going on, but we are so engulfed by our own we fail to see it.
