he's an action star for this generation that is quickly taking his place at the top of the heap god hi welcome to watchmojo.com and today we're counting down our picks for the top 10 Tom Hardy performances it is not the violence two sets man apart all right it is the distance that he's prepared to go for this list we're taking a look at those performances that show off this actor at his finest or most memorable number 10 handsome Bob RocknRolla there aren't that many gay characters in the crime film genre a few notable exceptions aside of course and we sincerely hope that those behind the genre see this film and see what an oversight it is in cinema history told you you wouldn't understand playing a closeted man with a crush on the leader of the group of criminals he worked with Tom Hardy is handsome Bob in this British comedy crime flick this member of the Wild Bunch uses his looks strength and smarts to get whatever he wants including a spot on this list to cheer up about he looks up when an 8 by 10 tomorrow night number 9 Alfie solvents peaky blinders Bond brought into this BBC 2 crime drama in its second series Tom instantly upped the ante on this already acclaimed show which is anchored by respected actors Cillian Murphy and Sam Neill so would you leave here contain her Caravan as an unpredictable and violent rival mobster whose demeanor intimidates everyone around him and has body as is chomping at the bit to see him kick some serious ass Alfie Solomons is entirely awesome to observe all the time you were talking about dirty [ __ ] Jews for a time dare he can use dirty cop with mr. Hardy on board we couldn't wait for each new episode of the peaky blinders to drop pop sir what are you saying my number 8 bob saginowski the drop yeah so good day as a bartender at a bar that's used as a drug for Chechen mobsters Bob shows up every day to work and takes the world of crime and randomness around him in-stride hey doing something that maybe we can't clean up this time despite the fact that the themes of this crime drama may not be the most original and there are many other films that have tackled similar content there's some sins that you commit that you can't come back for them you know no matter how hard you try it is largely the talented actors like Tom Hardy that served to separate the drop from its competitors shut him in the face twice then I mapped his head in the towel I stabbed him in the chest his heart so he bleed out and put him in my bathtub in Washington dream number 7 Eve's inception so what is this idea that you need to blow there are a few actors who don't sing under the guidance of Christopher Nolan but there are even fewer that managed to overshadow actors of the caliber of Leonardo DiCaprio and gordon-levitt games I am impressed your condescension and as always as much appreciated I wasn't thank you when this sci-fi thriller was released Tom party was a name that a lot of people had never heard get too much free champagne with long cycle play is a though another role that we may discuss later got him a lot of praise this was the film that really got him a lot of notice so now we're trapped in fish's mine battling his own private army and if we get killed we'll be lost in limbo till our brains turn to scrambled egg number 6 Forrest Bondurant lawless ala bond on one of three brothers who are running a successful moonshine business Forrest may not have been intended as the lead but his story is the one we care about the most in this crime drama what I'm trying to say is is that the course you live it is changing you don't even see you talking about playing a man who survives his throat being cut it takes an actor of incredible strength both physically and emotionally to make audiences buy into the myth of that grandeur I'll take a good look jet yeah that's the new best friend are you wrong or to every moment of this film in which he doesn't appear maybe well-crafted and entertaining but it suffers at least a little bit from his absence we're survivors we control the fear and without the fear we are all as good as dead number five Ricki Tarr Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy I needed to see you why there's a woman it may have been Gary Oldman that took home the lion's share of the praise from critics but this espionage flicked also served as yet more proof that Tom Hardy is a force to be reckoned with in the acting world they're gonna kill man who is you know well they're not whoever gets me first as a field agent who sets the movie's plot in action by informing his superiors of a possible mole inside British intelligence he doesn't need much screen time to be remembered fondly I said that she claimed to have information vital to the safeguarding of the circus as he does the job so effectively in the time he's been given if I go to Paris you'll go if I go to Paris I want your word that you will get arena back I don't care who you have to trade and I am out number four Tommy Riordan Conlon warrior casting a truly fearsome shadow tommy is an MMA fighter who walks in and out of about and Joe so happens to other lead astray his opponent in between not taking any solace or delight in coming out on top of his fights he seems most of all to be fighting himself and his family at every turn you don't want to go sit down somewhere Tommy may be a fictional character but you never for a second think that you're watching an actor which may be the greatest compliment of them all number three Ivan Locke Locke mr. Cassidy is Ivan Locke from the Power Project told in real-time and almost entirely shot directly in the face of mr. Hardy this drama offers little reprieve from his acting skills but luckily we don't want one The Luxe were a long line of [ __ ] but I straightened the Dame out a man whose career and personal life are simultaneously being decimated by a massive mistake Ivan Locke's priorities are clear as is his desire to do what's right after doing something he's never envisioned he do the warning she will be okay there are a few actors that have ever attempted to perform under such microscopic examination and that have not wilted under the pressure and this speaks to Hardy's ample skills yes well something's happened hello I'm not explained when I'm not driving number two Charles Bronson Michael Gordon Peterson Bronson my name's Charles Bronson casting an actor who's known for being tough as a character who is so tough and feared that he spent almost his entire adult life in prison under solitary confinement seems like a no-brainer I'll give you a key magic in a while other tough-guy actors would have turned the already over-the-top script into a cartoonish and goofy role in this case we got treated to a relatable maniac that we never hope to meet in a dark alley even the real-life Bronson appreciated Hardy's portrayal of him before we reveal our top pick here are a few honorable mentions this is Clocky double first at Cambridge in industrial chemistry mommy's got a pay off his student loan somehow I'd always imagined you a little torn or the leaves that all of it yes I will pay you now number one Bane the Dark Knight Rises babe the man who broke the bats back Bain is a brutal man who envisions himself as the hero of the story but also relishes the opportunity to wreak havoc on the people of Gotham could be well he seems to be a cookie cutter villain he's actually anything but well punishment must be more severe entirely committed to the role Tom packed on pound after pound of muscle and any comparison to other roles on this list are foolhardy look the dairy room after seeing him take on this militant revolutionary from the comic book world there is virtually no role we wouldn't have confidence in him trying his hand at no one cared who I was till I put on the Mars it would be extremely painful do you be with our lovely is less really lovely what's your favorite Tom Hardy performance I'm afraid you won't survive to witness the victory of the echo over the voice for more well-acted top 10s published every day be sure to subscribe to watchmojo.com vite
