Legend (2015)

Also Known As: -
Year of first release: 2015
Director: Brian Helgeland
Actors: Tom Hardy, Emily Browning
Country: GB, F
Genre: Polar
Conditions of visioning: 14.12.2015, Schauburg, OV Sneak Preview, English version
Synopsis: Twin gangsters Reggie and Ronnie Kray (Hardy) become two of the most notorious criminals in British history, and their organised crime empire in the East End of London during the 1960s. 
Review: Told partially from the point of view of Reggie's wife Frances Shea (Browning), the story is more than just a polar and story of crime. It gives a lot if insights in the private lives (Frances, twin relationship, apparent craziness of Ronnie) of the twins and how this impacted on their working lives. The story is maintained very interesting and plenty of with surprises. 
The acting of Tom Hardy is once again excellent. After his amazing acting in Locke, I admire this actor as one of the top 3 actors nowadays. The remaining actors appear beside him very secondary. Even Emily Browning.
The camera driving and image composition are very well done, even if quite classic it enhances the dialogues and acting.
Rating: 8 /10
