Solid Work!

Rating: 8/10 (31 December 2015)

Tom Hardy has always had my respects but now has moved up the list of bankable leading actors! As a gangster film aficionado I would instantly add this movie to a much watch list for anyone looking into the genre.
For obvious reasons the film had a 'Sugar Hill', with Wesley Snipes, storyline feel to it but different enough that minor comparisons can be made. With all the Oscar caliber movies coming out at the moment, Legend does not disappoint. I did feel that the ending could have had more of a twist. The juxtaposition of the twins lends itself to a much more impactful ending. It left me with a "Awww, they could have done so much more with that.." feeling. Never the less, great movie and performances from the entire cast!
As a side note, with the help of the wardrobe, I can see Hardy being a candidate for the next Bond and giving Idris a run for the position.
