I've never heard of Tom Hardy before this movie, but now I'm a big fan. The plot is interesting, but a little slow in the beginning. About 1/3 into the movie things really started heating up. The fight scenes were brutal, well-choreographed, especially the final fight. Reminds me if Fight Club, or Spartacus minus the decapitation and disembowelment. I do love a good fight scene

Four out of five stars.
Edit to add: OMG I just read this about Hardy: "He will play the chemically enhanced villain Bane in The Dark Knight Rises which is the final film in the Christopher Nolan saga and is set for release in 2012."
