Far from legendary

Rating: 4/10 (18 September 2015)

This film is a real shame. From looking at the trailer it had lot's of potential due to cast, setting, storyline and styling. However it was evident from early on that pretty much all of this failed.
Whilst humorous at times, Tom Hardy looked unconvincing in the dual role. Granted, the screenplay of the two different characters was done well and coherently, but the acting was inconsistent for each character.
The storyline was a bit of a myth. There is no focus in this film. It's not quite sure whether or not the focus is on the dynamic of the twins, the twin's escapades or Reggie's relationship with Frances.
The music for this movie left me distraught. Terrible choices throughout, songs that were more appropriate for a Rom-com.
This could have been so much more. 10* for trailer, unfortunately the actual movie ranks much lower.
For movies like of this kind to pull off i think the director needs to have a certain mindset.. it seems Helgeland just couldn't see it.
