Tom Hardy is a joy to watch as the eldest, cardigan wearing brother. Unlike his menacing, outwardly imposing Bane, his Forrest Bondurant is knows the value of movement and voice. You always got a sense with Bane that there was a bit of a showman in him. There’s none of that with Forrest, just calculated, caged danger. The character is not big on speeches or grand gestures in public, and Hardy brings a quiet serenity to a man who is not afraid to get his hands dirty. Much of that can be attributed to the way the character speaks, offering not much more than a monosyllabic “huh” or “hmm” to convey an entire array of feelings. It’s a really interesting role for Hardy to take on and it fits him like a glove.
