Go see it Thumbs Up

Finally an 18 at the cinema, been awhile since seeing a decent one.

Anyways, Bronson is a good film, from the director of Pusher i thought this would be a little strange as the guy isn't British...it turned out to be worth every penny to go to the cinema. He's seriously fucked up Confused

If it's anything like his books it will be a bag of shite. I'll sum it up for you.

"Went to prison, had a fight, got put in solitary, did some push-ups, got out of solitary, had another fight, got put in solitary, did a few more push-ups, got let out of jail, robbed a post office, back in jail, slotted in some push-ups, had a fight, went into solitary, found time for some push ups....."

Keep repeating that over a couple of hundred pages and theres the book. Oh and throw in the occasional roof protest - call that the highlight of the book if you will.

I only read through it till the end because I thought something interesting might happen. Rest assured it certainly did not.

I like prison movies especially if there's an element of truth in them, will go see it! By Pusher do you mean the European movie about drug dealing? That was a well done movie, can recommend it to all who haven't seen it.

His hostage situations are the best I've ever seen

* In 1998, Bronson took two Iraqi hijackers and another inmate hostage at Belmarsh prison in London. He insisted his hostages address him as "General" and told negotiators he would eat one of his victims unless his demands were met. At one stage, Bronson demanded one of the Iraqis hit him "very hard" over the head with a metal tray. When the hostage refused, the 18-stone strongman slashed his own shoulder six times with a razor blade. He later told staff: "I'm going to start snapping necks - I'm the number-one hostage taker." He demanded a plane to take him to Cuba, two Uzi sub-machine guns, 5,000 rounds of ammunition and an axe. In court, he said he was "as guilty as Adolf Hitler". He said: "I was on a mission of madness, but now I'm on a mission of peace and all I want to do now is go home and have a pint with my son." Another seven years were added to his sentence.[2]

* Soon after the trial, Bronson once again escaped from solitary confinement, tied up prison teacher Phil Danielson with a rope and towed him round the jail for 44 hours (the teacher was not physically harmed during the incident.) Armed with two knives, he twice tried to harm himself during the siege, hitting himself over the head with a bottle and tearing a washing machine filled with water from its socket in an attempt to electrocute himself. It is said that this kidnap attempt by Bronson was all done because he wanted "two cheeseburgers with ketchup".

* In 2007, two members of prison staff at Full Sutton high security prison in the East Riding of Yorkshire were involved in a "control and restraint incident", in an attempt to prevent another hostage situation, during which Bronson (who now needs spectacles) had his glasses broken. Bronson received £200 compensation for his broken glasses,[6] which he claimed were made of "pre-war gold" and given to him by Lord Longford.

I don't want to get into a top trumps style debate. But this chap who you know wasn't with him one on one, hand to hand etc. Fair play to him for getting stuck in though. Bronson also is a nuts and enjoys the odd beating, i don't think you can put them in same category really.

Does it show any of his artwork in the film? They always made me chuckle!
He's just a typical Luton nutter - held up Marsh Farm PO for about 25 quid IIRC - obviously not the brightest of chaps.

Alot of the time, the violence is mainly against other cons i.e people who make the concious decision to get involved in that lifestyle, not innocent, normal everyday people.
