Fantastic film!

Rating: 9/10 (11 October 2015)

I have given this movie a 9, purely based on the performance of Tom Hardy and the story line. Hardy's acting skills, like many of his other films, are put to the test and he's come out triumphant. I couldn't take my eyes off of him and relished in the two different personalities he portrayed.
However, the point lost was down to the story written about the Krays. It wasn't true to the behaviour of Reggie Kray and made him out to be a funnier and nicer man than he actually was. Particularly with regards to his wife, who suffered a lot at his hands. The film seemed to avoid too much emphasis on this, and created a more comical version.
All in all, fantastic film, fantastic characters and fantastic actors. The steer from the truth is a minor blip, thinking past this the film is an absolute smasher!! Once again, thank you Tom Hardy!
