Tom Hardy does great work in a poor movie.

Rating: Null/10 (22 December 2018)

It's a shame that when a gifted and charismatic actor like Tom Hardy plays two twin brothers and gives two different, memorable performance in a pointless, dry film. "Legend" tells the story of the Kray twins, two gangsters during the 1960s in London. The film tells a very one-dimensional, unfulfilling tale that doesn't explore these brothers intimately enough, yet wastes so much time on unimportant details that bring the plot down and make the film drag. With a run-time of over 130 minutes, "Legend" could have been trimmed down by about 20 minutes and given a more talented writer and director than Brian Helgeland to create a story that doesn't just focus on their actor's performance but gives a story that is both entertaining and rewarding.
