"Locke" is a unique cinematic experience, primarily set within the confines of a car, with Tom Hardy as the sole on-screen character. The plot revolves around Locke, a dedicated family man and successful construction manager, who makes a series of phone calls during a critical drive from Birmingham to London. These calls unravel the fabric of his meticulously constructed life, revealing a complex web of personal and professional crises. At the heart of this narrative is this compelling idea: "And the difference between never and once is the whole world. The difference between never and once is the difference between good and bad."
