Review of Legend (2015) by Luke E — 09 Nov 2015

What could be better than seeing Tom Hardy rank up against no one other than himself. 'Legend' just happens to be the answer to that, from screenwriter turned director Brian Helgeland it's a quip, fast paced, highly stylized and exciting British gangster flick based on the true life story of Reggie and Ronnie Kray, from 1960's London.

Added to that with such a talented cast of admirable actors, including Australia's own Emily Browning as Reggie's love interest and provides a perfect intersecting narration viewpoint that doesn't even tend to comply to either side of the brothers devious deeds.

'Legend' is much like a Guy Richie or Matthew Vaughn flick, It's definitely worth a look, with such a well written and highly stylized narrative with great sets, costumes and performances even if from just Tom hardy alone as the two twin gangsters, that matches up to the film's title perfectly.
