Review of Legend

Legend (I) (2015)
7/10
Slightly underwhelmed, but good none the less
21 November 2020
So I've been put off watching this for so long, because I'm not big on the idea of one actor playing multiple characters. But I will say that this works. Tom Hardy I thought was brilliant and watching this I really admired his acting.

So why only 7/10? Well, if I could do halves i would go 7.5. However, I don't feel it's worthy of an 8 or higher and here's why. The plot. It's a bit flat in areas and the reason being is that this film seems to centre around Reggie and Frances relationship and not the gritty gangster ways of London. Which I'll assume (it's why I watched) most people want to see. Not don't get me wrong you still get elements of it, but the film is heavily centred around the relationship, therefore you don't get enough. I was just underwhelmed. Like I said it's a good film and definitely worth watching, it just could have been done better. And that's why I'm a little disappointed.
