Legend is an upcoming British crime thriller movie by Brian
Helgeland. The Legend is based on the book The Profession of Violence: The Rise
and Fall of the Kray Twins by John Pearson. The movie Legend is set in the
1960s and tells the story of the well-known Kray twins, two people who played
critical roles in much of the organized crime in East London, an impoverished
part of the British capital, during the 1950s and 1960s.
It is the fifth film directed by Helgeland. Tom Hardy and
Emily Browning star with Colin Morgan, David Thewlis, Christopher Eccleston,
Chazz Palminteri, Tara Fitzgerald, and Taron Egerton featured in supporting
roles. The plot is mainly focused on Reggie’s struggles trying to deal with his
brother’s reckless ways. The trailer shows a point in which Reggie is warned,
“Your brother Ron is violent and psychopathic, he’s is off his rocker.”
The trailer also shows that Reggie is conflicted with
committing to his love interest, and eventual wife Frances Shea (played by
Emily Browning) or to remain loyal to his twin. At one point, Reggie even tells
her, “My loyalty to my brother is how I measure myself.” Evidently, blood runs
thicker than water. I hope you guys enjoy the movie greatly..
