Review of Legend (2015) by Jamie W — 27 Jan 2016

As Legend's plot follows a story I knew very little about I was very impressionable to the characters as they are all new to me. I found myself sympathising with the characters I knew were 'bad guys,' mostly due to Tom Hardy's brilliant performances as both Reggie and Ronnie.

There were few scenes in the film where the twins' faces were both visible in the same shot, it was at these points I was taken out of the action slightly as I was looking for the 'magic' in the camera, if you will. This also happened whilst the twins were face to face and the use of a body double was used for an 'over the shoulder' shot.

The scenery and sets in the film blended seamlessly into the plot and in hindsight were a great feature, entirely immersing you into the plot.

All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed the film and would suggest it was thouroughly worth your time.
