He brutally murdered a man, but was declared insane and confined to a psychiatric clinic, get out of that turned out to be the most difficult. Diagnosis at the Reggie real – he is a dangerous psychopath, stable only at constant pill. The brothers quickly press down under him to London, then their views on the further development of the business radically diverge. Francis, Ron’s wife (Emily Browning), wants her husband broke up with crime. Becoming more and more inadequate Reggie, on the one hand, and hear does not want to leave the gang. On the other – it is not clear at all what he wants to do, but to be applied to people as much as possible personal injury.
There is some irony in the fact that “Legend” were released simultaneously with the Russian “Warrior.” In these films a lot more in common than meets the eye. First, they are both about the complex relationship between the two brothers, who are one point let his fists to dot the i. Second, our “Warrior” – an unofficial remake Warrior 2011, in which the main role played by still the same Tom Hardy. So cine weekend behalf of brotherly bloodletting and the most fashionable British artist of the last couple of years can be considered open.

The Twins Cray, referred to in the “Legend” – absolutely real characters, keep at bay the whole of London 60 years ago. The director of “Legends” Brian Helgeland came to creating their biographies meticulously – he is armed with almost all the attendant kinobagazhom that comes to mind when you say the word in a row “gangster drama” and “retro.” “Legend” is not shy about openly borrow from Martin Scorsese (“Goodfellas,” “Casino”), Brian De Palma (“Scarface”), Michael Cimino (“The Deer Hunter”), and even Billy Wilder (“Sunset Boulevard” ) David Cronenberg (“Dead Ringers”) Dynamic first hour of this painting look, not without pleasure, glad for the high culture of cinematic spectacle. Then, alas, begins the typical problems of a biographical film, in which, after a lengthy prologue complex life conflicts inevitably push into short culmination and bearing on the short finish line isolation. However, these problemuydramaturgicheskogo properties begin to pay attention to it because of the fact that the more there is in the second hour to pay attention especially not on that “Legend” is just a string for references and references to other films, completely constructed film in which no one not that original, and independent thought. Take a picture, that “Legend”, to put it mildly, inspired – and the film is almost nothing left.

“Almost” – because one trump card, this picture is still able to produce. This trump card – the game Tom Hardy and charisma, without which even venturing a conversation about the “Legend” did not make sense. It just so happens that now the most fashionable, popular, and popular actors Britain pulls a really great artist. “Legend” gives him the opportunity to shine in two guises. “Right gangster” Ron – the role, in general, typical for Hardy, he is no stranger to playing nice guys with the principles that at some point, ready to cross the line. But the twin brother Reggie – a sociopath, a sadist, a gay – that many actors are often called dream role – so the characters are all on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Slicked back hair and big glasses, for whom Hardy hidden his spectacular appearance is complemented so accurate game that at other times before the eyes nasmotrennost spectator gallery of other actors “embodiment of evil” – by Marlon Brando to Al Pacino.
And if she “Legend” when compared with his great predecessors only modestly skukozhivaetsya then Hardy against the backdrop of the great actors of the last decades, at least not lost.
If the rumors are true and he really will soon be replaced by Daniel Craig in the post James Bond, it will help the producers of “James Bond” – well, who, in fact, except for him?
