tomhardyvariations: Some more reviews of Tom in Lawless: I thought I couldn’t like Tom Hardy any more than I already do (and I haven’t even seen The Dark Knight Rises yet), but this film takes him to even greater heights. Today was the Cannes Film Festival premiere of John Hillcoat’s Lawless, an adaptation of Matt Bondurant’s The Wettest County in the World…It’s bloody, it’s brutal, it’s badass, and the big cast all around impresses. But it’s Tom Hardy who really takes on the role as Forrest Bondurant and runs with it. As an actor, Hardy is already phenom, and he’s only getting better. Here he uses grunts, vocal noises, and poignant dialogue to assert his sheer badassery and it works wonders. As stated by colleague Eric Snider on twitter after: this “will definitely add to Tom Hardy’s badass status.” firstshowing.net “Tom Hardy as Forrest is the stoic centre of the film, he is the opposite of everything that Jack is. He speaks very little, he is stoic and calm and watches everything that goes on around him, like a coiled snake, waiting for his moment to strike. Tom Hardy is perhaps the only actor working today that can be still and silent on screen, yet utterly mesmerising. Forrest may not say much, but it is through his silence that he conveys everything that he is thinking. This is a performance from Hardy that cements his position as one of the great actors working today. Forrest wears his cruelty on his sleeve, but there is a gentleness to the character that is mainly apparent when dealing with Maggie (Jessica Chastain) and it is obvious that his apparent cruelty toward his youngest brother is motivated from a place of love.” hayesatthemovies.com … The most memorable of them is somber Forrest, whose dialogue is delivered from somewhere way back in Hardy’s throat, often as barely more than an inarticulate rumble. But from in amongst those animal growls spout occasional pearls of outlaw wisdom, such as “It is not the violence that sets a man apart, it’s the distance he is prepared to go.” hollywoodreporter.com The brains of the operation is Forrest Bondurant (Tom Hardy), which is an appropriate name for a man built like the trunk of a giant redwood. Hardy plays him as a brooding bear who speaks in a baritone crackle that sounds as if it is being played back on a gramophone. telegraph.co.uk
