watched this last night. i was really pumped to watch a period piece gangster movie, but it was pretty shitty

OK, getting this out of the way: hardy was amazing.

HOW-EVA, it feels like too much time and too many resources were devoted to that aspect of the film, and there simply wasn't enough put into the story, structure, pacing, etc.

the biggest structural issue is the tone. the tone of this movie was all over the place and it really removed any care towards the characters or story. at some points it was slapstick comedy, dark comedy, serious relationship-emotional drama, serious crime movie, etc.

also, the love interest is played by the actress who played babydoll in sucker punch. it looks like she's anorexic now

Good movie for the first forty minutes, then you realize there is no story just interactions between the brothers.

The brothers were funny, though. Tom hardy did a good job.

She is the same size in all her movies. She is 5'1

I did enjoy this movie, and Tom Hardy was amazing as usual in this movie, but I definitely agree with you when you say this.

There was really no plot which I thought was dumb. It was just about the interaction between Reggie and Ronnie Kray, and the love story of Reggie and Frances. They were just kind of lazy with putting a story together.

One of our most anticipated movies of that year. Huge Hardy fans.

Big letdown. Seemed like they thought they could give Hardy the two major roles and the audience wouldn't notice that it was a boring story.
