Rise and fall of a diabolical villain pairing

Rating: 6/10 (8 September 2018)

The twinset and burly this time was portrayed by just one performer, Tom Hardy. It was a laudable performance for the charisma he brought to the parts but all in all it is an underwhelming film. It lacked substance and, like The Krays (1990), it failed to achieve the sort of chills the infamous crime brothers were know for. Too much black humour and background music reduced the tension in the violent sequences. The film has a good supporting cast, however, so the film is watchable.
