Ivan Locke (Tom Hardy) drives across the English countryside. He talks on his phone. He talks to himself. He keeps driving. It’s an unlikely a description for a thriller, yet this film is one of the most pressure-filled studies in tension to come out of the Winter festival scene.

Part of the New York Film Critics Series, a series that offers preview screenings of first-run films with special added content. After LOCKE, respected critic Peter Travers of The Rolling Stone will interview star Tom Hardy and writer-director Steven Knight.

Tickets for New York Critics Series screenings are $18 general, $15 for students, seniors, teachers and military, and $12 for Film Streams Members.
