It was written and directed by the creator of Peaky Blinders.
Staying in this Tuesday evening? Not to worry as there are plenty of movies airing on TV tonight, starting with:
Suicide Squad – RTÉ2 – 9pm

The commercial and critical flop sequel to Ben Stiller’s cult classic comedy Zoolander.

Inheritance – AMC – 11pm
In this thriller with a lowly 23% Rotten Tomatoes score, a wealthy patriarch suddenly passes away, leaving his daughter (Lily Collins) with a shocking secret inheritance that threatens to destroy the family.
Locke – Film4 – 11.05pm
Last but not least is our pick for tonight, this 2013 movie starring Tom Hardy. He plays Ivan Locke, a family man and successful construction manager whose life begins to fall apart over the course of a car journey.
From writer-director Steven Knight (the creator of Peaky Blinders), Locke is noteworthy for taking place almost entirely in a car and for featuring only one onscreen actor in Hardy. Nevertheless, the thriller drama is as gripping as an action-packed blockbuster thanks to its tour-de-force central performance and the level of depth of its lead character.
