Legend
CAST:Tom Hardy, Emily Browning, Christopher Ecclestone, Joshua Hill, Colin Morgan
DIRECTION:Brian Helgeland
GENRE:Thriller
DURATION:2 hours 13 minutes
STORY: Ronnie and Reggie Kray (Hardy, in a double role) were to London what Al Capone and Meyer Lansky were to the US - feared gangsters who mixed illegal business dealings with violence, in equal measure. Apart from tracing their often tenuous brotherly bond, the film deals with their rise, celebrity-like status and eventual life imprisonment.
REVIEW: The real life Kray brothers had a fearsome mix of street-smart wiles and keen business acumen. Reggie is the brainy, relatively more normal of the two while Ronnie is crazy to the point of being scary. Early on in the movie, a doctor walks up to Reggie, fumes that Ronnie is downright insane and that he should not miss his twice-a-day medication ever. Reggie though, is a gentleman and it is his chivalrous ways and good looks which draws the rebellious Frances (Browning) to him. She later marries him, despite not liking the fact that he is a gangster.
