I thought it was pretty good. If nothing else, watch it to see another great performance from Hardy.

It was good. Not his best movie but definitely a good one. You may want to watch it with subtitles. He can be a little hard to understand at times.

Movie is ok. I don't think the filmmakers knew what type of film they wanted to make.

Hardy's performance is great.

I was impressed with Hardy's ability to use facial expressions and body language to portray two completely different people that happened to be twins. Honestly, he could pulled off playing two completely unrelated people easily.

Always enjoyed Brits fascination with the Krays, will check this out.

Anyone with a review of 'Bronson'?

Loved Hardy in 'Drop' with Gandolfini. Solid in Revenant, and as Bane, Max, and most anything he does.

Completely agree. Hardy is great as usual and is very hard to understand at points. Your right on the filmmakers though, it's like they wanted a British Goodfellas, with comedy, tragedy soundtrack, gangsters, etc...but it just didn't have a consistent tone.

Bronson is a wild ride. Its Hardy's best performance IMO. The dude has some serious acting chops

Is Child 44 worth a look? I've been meaning to watch it, it looks really good imo.

I enjoyed it. Yes, the direction of the film was underwhelming considering the premise and what Hardy was trying to accomplish. However, as a vehicle for Hardy's performance(s), it really did well. I think there was some opportunity to develop some really good secondary characters to make the film better, but that would have detracted from Hardy.

I knew I was seeing the same man portray twins, but it may as well have been different characters. That is how convincing Hardy was. If you are a fan of Hardy and the genre, you should really enjoy it.
