Well received in the U.K., Bronson was bracketed with Steve McQueen's Hunger, a more seriously visceral tale of an incorrigible, self-promoting prisoner. Bronson is lighter fare, but harder to watch—its over-bright palette and pop-eyed perkiness are assaultive in the manner of Australian comedies like Strictly Ballroom and Muriel's Wedding. The kernel of an idea—brutish antihero as irrepressible life force—is trampled into dust by the showy Sturm und Drang of Refn's filmmaking.

    I agree with your criticisms against Refn's filmmaking - his 'showy Sturm and Drang. I just find it as an ironic comment coming from a critic whose penchant for pretentious intellectualism often inhibits the reader's ability to ascertain his precise point.
