You get a double dose of the excellent Tom Hardy

Rating: 7/10 (7 May 2016)

Tom Hardy is always a pleasure to watch. And now that he has even two roles in the movie you get double pleasure. His acting makes the movie worth watching. Legend is a good entertaining movie about the legendary Kray brothers even though it's more about Frances, the wife of Reggie Kray, narrating her point of view regarding the whole situation. Personally I preferred The Krays from 1990 with the Kemp brothers (from Spandau Ballet) playing the twin brothers. But that's been a while that I didn't watch that one again so maybe it didn't age well. But from what I remember I preferred that movie over Legend. If it was not for Tom Hardy I think Legend would not get the same high rating. He's a quality actor and this role is perfect for him. All in all Legend is worth a watch if you like crime/gangster stories.
