Good Film, perhaps won't be a legend but i'd certainly watch it again.

Rating: 8/10 (29 January 2016)

This is a good solid entertaining film about real life London gangsters the Kray twins.
I don't know how historically accurate it is and I don't care.
Tom Hardy is exceptional as both twins, the nutty homosexual murderous one and the sensible business man gangster one. I genuinely would not have realised they were the same actor.
I like the how the story is told, from the view point of Reggie's dead wife (who took her own life).
It gives a very believable insight into 1960's gangland London and the rise and fall of the Krays. It has violent scenes but not overdone (which is a common error these days).
The film also has some genuine humour thrown in.
It's not faultless e.g. I thought a good actor like Christopher Ecclestone was rather wasted on a minor role, which didn't have any major bearing anyway.
But the whole thing works, well worth a watch in my opinion.
