Review of Legend (2015) by David B — 11 Sep 2015

I thoroughly enjoyed this true life tale of the infamous Kray brothers. Tom Hardy plays both brothers superbly, and differently too. I found myself scanning faces to see if it was actually a double, which shows how well he can act.

Set in the east end of London in the sixties the film tells of the brothers and their rule of terror through the capital. It also involves Reggie's love for his wife, and touches upon his brothers opposite love life and mental health problems.

All in all the film kept me screen grabbed throughout and one I'd recommend. As you might expect in a gangster film, it involves a lot of violence and blood.
