It's also a little weird because there are many times where I was unsure whether something was supposed to be funny or not – some of the stuff Ronnie Kray says is extremely peculiar, and probably was at the time.
However, two of the people I went with thought it was brilliant, and it has had some extremely positive reviews by the critics. It's definitely worth watching, if only for Tom Hardy's remarkable performance(s].
