Review of Legend (2015) by Justin H — 02 Mar 2016

Worth watching for Tom Hardy's incredible double act as the infamous British gangsters, Ronnie and Reggie Kray.

Both a character story and well-known story told, the film details the Kray's behaviours, but doesn't quite delve into their back stories, so viewers may be left wanting to research more about the Kray's.

Australia's Emily Browning is perfectly cast as Reggie's devoted, but straight-laced wife, Frances Shea. Browning's performance is heart-wrenching, whilst Shea's story is tragic.

Part drama, part black comedy, the highlight of this film is the one-two acting punch by the always brilliant Tom Hardy. Once again, he has elevated his acting game to a whole new level.
