The Entire Production Looks Low-Budget and Nothing is Inspired

Rating: 4/10 (13 June 2016)

Everything Feels Wrong in this Dismal Film that Flatters the Monster Kray Brothers, those Infamous Gangsters from London in the 1960's.
The Screenplay by Award Winning Scripter Helgeland who also Directed is Off the Mark. He uses the Term "Gangster" so many times that one wonders if He didn't have access to a Thesaurus or was Suffering from Writer's Block.
Tom Hardy is an Overrated Actor who Mumbles no matter the Movie and here He has more "Marbles in the Mouth" than Mark Wahlberg, and that British Accent makes the Dialog barely Comprehensible most of the Time. Spittle Spews from the Mouth in a Number of Scenes that is Method Acting Drowning in an all New Level.
Hardy is Enamored by Critics and the Public to such an Extent and has Everyone Under His Spell and when the Performance(s) are a Challenge like Playing Twin Brothers, You would Think it's a Stratospheric Accomplishment. It's Passable but can do nothing to Elevate this Awkward Aggrandizement of Scum. It's all just Surface Stuff.
The Atmosphere and Period looks like a Low-Budget Movie and the Time and Place hardly Reincarnates. The Same Songs are Recycled at different Times and that's just Lazy and Uninspired and that could be Said about the Entire Production.
A Disappointment Considering the Writer/Director and the Genre, but Nothing Tom Hardy does ever Disappoints Anyone and when He Rises to Mediocrity, the Praises Never Stop. This Film as a Whole is Not Praiseworthy, it is a Dull Misconception that gets just about Everything Wrong.
