Ivan Locke is a concrete construction foreman on a job a couple hours north of London. Tomorrow is the biggest day of his career as he is overseeing the biggest pour the country has ever seen (outside of military and nuclear power). Unfortunately, Locke is in his car driving to London. This 90 minutes of real-time film tracks Locke through a series of phone calls as he is managing his bosses, the pour, his family, and the personal crisis that is taking him to London. It is an astounding bit of acting as a one man show. All the emotional devastation he must deal with and yet, stay present enough to drive. As a viewer we are brought right in as a passenger in the car. We don't have any voice over or know anything extra. We only hear both sides of the phone conversations. Dramatic, and real.
4 stars (out of 5)
