Legend
by Eric Hillis
Given how a substantial portion
of the British film industry has
subsisted on London set gangster flicks over the past couple

Kray twins, haven’t found their

exploits mined by countless low
budget filmmakers. It’s 25 years
since Peter Medak’s take on the
subject, 1990’s The Krays, which
cast pop-star brothers Gary and
Martin Kemp as the title duo. Brian Helgeland’s Legend takes the
next logical casting step, dropping Tom Hardy into both roles.
