not that bad

Rating: 6/10 (19 November 2015)

The Legend, a film about the Kray brothers, the notorious London gangster who loved their job from the 60s ("swinging sixties"),is a film for gangster lovers. And when you consider that, in the last few years a very good mood and versatile Tom Hardy is playing a double major role or two physically somewhat similar, but completely different characters, I expected a real cinematic treat. It's for dark theaters and the big screen. Not for TV and laptops. That simply do not make sense. However, I was wrong. Do not get me wrong, this is not a bad movie, much less boring (although lasted over 2 hours and at several places in the pace of decline), and Tom Hardy in it has a double show program. The problem is that it is not nearly as good as it could be, and how topics and miles of it so requires (read biographies of twins and you will understand how important this cinematic story in itself), and it is again the result of a series of wrong decisions copyright. Legend just seems too refined, construed according to the wishes of the audience and ultimately insincere. Although filmed on location in London and the British-French co Legend acts as a generic Hollywood gangster movie and it is responsible screenwriter and director Brian Helgeland.
