Didn't people die every day that you did whatever it was that you did before the day that you died? All while the uncomfortable truth emerged and whispered that you made no good goddamn difference, while the others stress to burnish into new time the lie that says that even that has got to stand good for something, even if, in truth, it was good for absolutely nothing.

Locke - Written and Directed by Steven Knight
The parallels drawn by this movie along the lives of complicated, 21st century men, are damn near perfectly aligned. Tom Hardy's monolithic performance was totally convincing. A wireless multitasking white male meets the consequences of his actions and manages to do the right thing, in relative terms, after an awful mistake. An excellent film.
