Legend
Not sure what it was but i found the film completely dull and boring.
it was done it such a way that that even the violence couldnt save it and come across as yawn. If going to do violence and come across menacing then the look at films like godfather and casino.
Yes we know Ronnie was gay but did they have to remind you nearly everytime he spoke. And what was with the big squeaky voice and sounding like he spoke with a mouthfull of gob stoppers.
I didnt find that they potraid the twins for the menacing and feared gansters they where. And more of pair who ran a nightclub and was violent once in a while and at times the humour was wrong when they both where fighting each other was more laughable than frightning and menacing especialy ronnie screaming like a pansy. And not like two hardened criminals wanting to kill each other more like two friends having a mess about.
And the character who played jack the hat was pretty dire and pathetic
They made it look like reggie had a secret hatred of his brother, and Ronnie was a complete moron with no business sense.
Imo the krays was potraid better was darker and potraid the twins for what they where and made then come across as real gansters and criminals and feared not like legends with more depth of the twins, about their life, and crimnal feared gansters and a liking for violence,
