legendary Hardy is a legend in Legend

Rating: 10/10 (22 April 2016)

I have read reviews about this film slating it as CRAP, I will be blatantly obvious and say "DON'T BELIEVE THOSE REVIEWS". Tom Hardy doesn't disappoint in a revealing biopic of the Kray twins Ronald and Reginald. The film IS about the Krays, their relationship with each other and how they related to each other through the eyes of Frances (Reggie's wife). This isn't all about how they ruled London, how they come into power but it is about FAMILY. The scenes are brutal, bloody and violent, EXACTLY how the twins were. Emily Browning portrays Frances as a loving wife who tried with all her might to get Reggie on the straight and narrow, failing but always trying, I don't know much about Emily as an actress but I will definitely be looking out for her in other roles. David Thewlis, he is an acting talisman for me, he never disappoints in his roles and he is convincing in his roles. Don't be fooled into thinking this biopic of the twins is in any way only about their criminal behavior as it is both their crimes and their relationships. If you can remember the Kemp brothers in an earlier biopic of the Kray's then get ready to watch a performance from Tom Hardy that makes them look like little Pinocchio's in a punch and Judy show. I will say that I am a huge fan of Tom Hardy and have never been disappointed by any of his performances, STILL HAVEN'T. He played both Ronnie and Reggie with fantastic conviction (pardon the pun), a real testament to his acting ability and this film will further cement his status as an established actor. If you believe those reviews that claim this to be utter rubbish then YOUR LOSS, watch and enjoy, relax with a few friends and watch Tom Hardy blow you away with his 5* performance.
