The UK’s most extreme prisoner enters stage left in Bronson...
Charles Bronson, the man: fierce, fearsome, fanatical – a man who remains Britain’s most infamous cellmate (35 years and counting, despite never killing anyone…) for his anarchic approach to prison life (3,000 push-ups per day, rooftop protests, guard bashing). Bronson, the movie: bruising, bracing and borderline camp, with Pusher director Nicolas Winding Refn polishing his tale with an arch theatrical gleam and a pumped-up Tom Hardy spinning fists of fury as the eponymous jailbird. Hardy to Buzz: “I loved the naked fighting.”
