Waiting for more Loki? Watch these Tom Hiddleston movies

Watch Tom Hiddleston in: High Rise (2015)

Another excellent, but disturbing role of Hiddleston’s is the character of Robert Laing in Ben Wheatley’s High-Rise. Based on the 1975 novel by British author J.G. Ballard (which Hiddleston narrated an audiobook of), it’s the story of a group of people in a London high-rise apartment building who descend into chaos as their insular society falls apart.

The residents have every convenience they could ever want and start to lose interest in life outside the high-rise. But when the infrastructure begins to fail, a conflict begins to form between the inhabitants of the lower and higher floors. Soon the whole building gives way to debauched madness, with people looting apartments and killing each other.

Robert is a man who goes from being detached from the world to unhinged. Hiddleston is able to make this descent so subtle and gradual that it feels completely natural, rather than jarring.

With a screenplay by Amy Jump, the film also stars Jeremy Irons, Luke Evans, Sienna Miller, and Elizabeth Moss as other residents of the high-rise. The production design is superb, both the original sleek modern building and the way that it gets torn apart over the course of the film.

High-Rise is definitely the most raunchy film on this list and features some off-putting scenes and difficult topics, so it’s not for everyone.
