Michael Ledo As Ron would say, "It's interesting." This is based on the true story of the Kray brothers (Tom Hardy) who ruled and terrorized London as gangsters. As the film begins they are already established gangsters being followed by the "coppers" wherever they go. Ron is being certified as crazy and takes meds. Part of the film is narrated by Frances Shea (Emily Browning) the girlfriend and wife of Reggie.The film is told as Reggie having to choose between his brother and everything else. Ron prevents Reggie from going straight and living the life Frances wants him to live. She had trouble coping with much of their life style. Ron is a very open homosexual in addition to his mental issues.The film ends at their arrests.

jackwareingfilms Tom Hardy is absolutely amazing as both KRAY brothers! Emily Browning is also incredible as Frances. She is brilliant in this. Yea, of course I did get some flashbacks of BANE i.e. BATMAN in Hardy's performance. BUT, If it works, then it works, and I t works here VERY WELL!. Great story telling, great supporting cast Highly Recommended.

mariomoises123 With a story like that and with an actor like Tom Hardy this film could be much more. The story is a bit superficial only focussing on the 2 main characters but the acting of Tom Hardy is something else and that balances the movie. In the end, 2 hours well spent.

epat I really enjoyed Legend towards the beginning — lots of great local color & interesting characters & the fight at the Pig & Whistle is one of the jolliest I've ever seen. Only Ronnie Kray could have been maniacal enough to convince a whole bar full of hard cases intent on serious mischief that: a) he'd brought along two pistols to what he reckoned to be a shootout, b) he'd get so infuriated that the other side was armed with nothing more than iron pipes & the like & c) he'd forget about his twin brother & stalk off in sheer indignation.It was far less enjoyable, tho no less brilliant, later on when it all turned dark & nasty. I'm sure it must have felt much like that to the Krays too, watching their lives spin out of control.Tom Hardy did a brilliant job portraying both twins; I had to keep reminding myself this was the same actor, all the while marveling at his versatility. His characterization of violently schizoid Ronnie was admirably nuanced. Making him hateful would have been so so easy, but half the time Hardy had you feeling sorry for the poor daft bugger. Brilliant. The very best of the Kray films, I calls it.
