Double trouble
I suppose there is a point in every famous actor's career where leaning to say no becomes hard to do. The challenge of a tour de force is hard to resist.
Hence the evident willingness for Tom Hardy to play both roles in the story of London gangsters, the Kray brothers.
No to too much story. They are twins but the story is the same. Say no to doubling down on the menace of "true life" characters. And on and on.
The result here is a bloated vehicle that could have been more fun and have more movement.
This is really a great film but I had to do some of the editing and use the FF. Too much of a good thing is still too much.
I said that.
See? Now they have me doing it.
I am going on and can't stop myself.
But let me restrain.
It is a good movie but not as good as it could be and using the FF earns an automatic 2. Too (two) bad.
