The film on June 12th at 8.00pm in the Corrie and Sannox Village Hall is Locke (Director Steven Knight, UK 2014, Cert 15)

Ivan Locke, a dedicated family man and successful construction manager, receives a phone call on the eve of the biggest challenge of his career that sets in motion a series of events that threaten his carefully cultivated existence.

Almost the entire film takes place within a BMW X5, which was driven down the M6 motorway on a flatbed truck for most of the time. Shooting took place in real time, and the filmmakers only took breaks to change the cameras’ memory cards. Ivan Locke is the only character other than those who talk to him on the phone.

The critical consensus was: “A one-man show set in a single confined location, Locke demands a powerful performance – and gets it from a never-more-compelling Tom Hardy.”

All are welcome to come and join us for this powerful film.
