Tom Hardy's recurring role as Alfie Solomons on Peaky Blindersis one of the highlights of the show, but he gave perhaps his best performance teaming with the show's creator in Locke. Hardy was already proving himself one of the most dynamic actors in Hollywood when he was cast in the lead role in Locke. The small movie is a riveting drama following a determined family man and businessman on his way to deal with a personal obligation that will shatter the life he has built.
