Hardy is kind of a hard and dry Hardy bloke.

Rating: 7/10 (28 December 2015)

****May contain strong spoilers****
Sophistication. Crime. Insanity. Money. Brutality. True story.
As the story goes on, I am hooked. The story and the movie has a great start out and many laughs upon the twins of Kray, Ronald and Reginald. The longer the picture rolls out, some things begins to fade and the interest does the same, sadly. I have to agree with other reviews that come with their perspective of a brilliant Tom Hardy and a "so-so movie". The first 35-45 minutes is just a heavenly entertaining chunk of movie, with it's pure and dry British humour and a brotherly love.
The production is solid; all in for that one.
What happens in the late of the movie is the great sad story behind the brothers. Maybe it's there where the movie loses some of its touch. Starts out as a interesting crime story with lots of interesting happenings... just to spiral down the staircase many steps to the lies, anger and sadness.
With that said...maybe the film is great, after all...all in all. Maybe it's the true story that is hard(y) to comprehend.
Thumbs up for good actors and good directing...and Tom Hardy makes one of his best performances, against and with himself.
7,1 out of 10
