Grabs you by the balls and pleasures your senses.

Rating: 8/10 (14 September 2015)

Brilliant performances all round, with Tom Hardy on top form. Kept my attention from start to finish, with no bouts of boredom. A mix of dark humour and grit gives the film a fresh feel, with a touch of old school charm. I would have liked to see more of the gangster rivalries, as it felt a little condensed, but the impression of ruthlessness was there nonetheless. My favourite aspect of the film has to be the relationship between the Kray twins. Rarely do you see a love/hate relationship so strong. It is almost painful to watch in the moments where Ronnie cannot understand why Reggie is so angry with him, and when Reggie doesn't know how Ronnie's brain works. Just go and watch Legend, you won't regret it.
