Legend finds Tom Hardy playing two lead roles: twin brothers Ronnie and Reggie Kray, who ruled gangland London with an iron fist and brass knuckles in the 1960s.
Yet while Hardy is one of the finest actors working today, he fails to deliver a pair of great performances, his Reg believably tough and witty but his Ron so over-the-top that he enters the realm of caricature and comes close to railroading the whole endeavour.
Written and directed by Brian Helgeland – who scripted LA Confidential and directed Payback, A Knight’s Tale and 42 – the film kicks off with the line “London in the 1960s… everyone had a story about the Krays.” Trouble is, Helgeland doesn’t seem sure what story he wants to tell, the screenplay switching abruptly from crime-drama to romance to morality tale and back again.
