legend. what a dull film. tom hardy quite game as both kray brothers but its basically the kray twins panto. no real insight or interest in getting into the time, place, or a bit more into the family life - id have liked to have seen more about their parents tbh. its a pretty ho hum story of their rise and fall, mostly generic and kind of lazy. a british director should have done it. or anyone who's got a few decent ideas. also the most leaden voiceover i think i have ever heard (a woman with an old school east end accent reading possibly the driest prose ever written about the krays). each brother is a bit of a cartoon, but the film doesnt really define their relationship with any particular notable qualities beyond one was a bit slow but short tempered and he had mental health issues but he was GAY! and the other was a sort of nice kind of fella if prone to the occasional bit of ruthless violence involving knives. i think that was them trying to go for complexity. also looks like it was done on the cheap but trying to look expensive, which is worse. the first clue to its general quality was the soundtrack, which is often just not the right songs. im not sure who should have done it really. i think even noel clarke would have done a better job.
