Trivia:
The British Prison Officers' Association complained when the film's London premiere was prefaced with a recording by Charles Bronson himself, recorded at HMP Wakefield, where he stated: "I'm proud of this film, because if I drop dead tonight, then I live on. I make no bones about it, I really was... a horrible, violent, nasty man. I'm not proud of it, but I'm not ashamed of it either... See you at the Oscars." It is illegal in the UK to make unauthorised recordings of prison inmates. moreGoofs:

Phil's Quick Capsule Review: What starts off as an off the wall look at a truly scary/fascinating character becomes much like it's subject unhinged, a bit dull and shallow under the surface leaving little more than an occasionally interesting curio. That said Tom Hardy is simply superb as the titular character but even he cant save this dull mess.
IMDb Rating: 4/10
Best Bit: Tom Hardy
Buy, Rent or Borrow: Borrow
