TOM HARDY FANS ONLY



Movies outside the US are well off the radar of the Academy, and so are the roles of the established Hollywood actors in those flicks.

The story of the notorious Cray twin brothers that led London's underground in the '60s and '70s offered a unique opportunity for Tom Hardy to show everything he knows as one of the leading actors of his generation. And he delivered everything asked of him almost impeccably, especially when it comes to the role of deranged and bipolar Ronnie Kray.

Sadly, the script and supporting cast falls behind, leaving „Legend” floating somewhere between the movie it could have been and the corny stereotype it is.

„Legend” will be loved by Tom Hardy fans and not many more.

PLAIN BORING



Trailers are one of the most ruthless tools of film industry. Those several moments excerpted from the movie can attract the potential viewer, but can also significantly reduce box-office success.

„Black mass” will attract you with its trailer, showing you one of the most mesmerizing roles of Johnny Depp in past ten years, but will sadly offer you nothing more than that. Inconclusive and chaotic story about Boston's notorious brothers that ruled the city in '70s and '80s will take through more than two hours of boring subplots leading nowhere interrupted by occasional brutal murder. And that's it. Literally.

Even if you're a Johnny Depp fan, „Black mass” is one just of those plain boring movies.

WORRIED ‘BOUT AFRICA


South Africa is one dangerous place to live, with vicious criminals lurking around every corner.

”Gangster’s paradise: Jerusalema” is the story of the crime lord that rose from the slime of black ghettos outside Johannesburg, only to become one of the most influential characters in the city. Aside from depicting the brutal and merciless world of slums, movie sheds a light on the political and racial corruption in the country it comes from.

However, the outcome of the script and the acting itself tend to deviate into incredulity which gives the entire flick a lower rating than expected at the beginning .

”Gangster’s paradise: Jerusalema” is a brutal display of modern South Africa, but nothing more than that.
