Legend

London,  you know bad teeth, even worse weather, fish and chips, cup of tea, London!  Apparently according to this movie in order to speak proper English, you first must fill your mouth with a handful of marbles.  Make sure you have the subtitles on for this one cause the Kray twins really suck at talking!  Here we have the true story of the infamous London gangsters of the 60's, Ronnie and Reggie Kray.  These guys were real bruisers, and controlled the night club and money laundering scene out of sheer brute force.  Ron, the schitzo, crazy half, and Reggie, the crazy practical half.  The story revolves around a short period of their life, and from what I have read mostly true.  There is actually a lot of rumors of what really happened to a lot of the dead blokes they were associated with.  The best part is, both parts were played by Tom Hardy, who is arguably one of the best actors of our time.  He nails both roles and makes you think you are really watching two different actors.  There could have been a lot more to the story and would have liked to see more of the iron fist ruling with these guys, but overall pleased.  Give this one a shot, if anything for Tom Hardy as he is phenomenal in just about everything.

FYI:  Hardy also played Charles Bronson, another famous British criminal.  Reggie Kray knew him in prison and called it the most frighting experience he has ever had.
