Tom Hardy's "deeply flawed" biopic Legend is now available to watch on Prime Video.

The true crime film was originally released in 2015, and sees Hardy play the dual roles of Ronnie and Reggie Kray, the infamous East London gangsters.

Director and writer Brian Helgeland's movie follows the pair's criminal careers and relationships up until their life imprisonment in 1969.

Legend was added to streaming service Prime Video yesterday in the UK and Ireland – so if you're searching for your next watch, look no further.

The movie sits at a 60% fresh score on Rotten Tomatoes, the consensus saying: "As a gangster biopic, Legend is deeply flawed, but as a showcase for Tom Hardy – in a dual role, no less – it just about lives up to its title."

What to Read Next

In Digital Spy's original three-star review, we said: "Helgeland appears guilty of falling for the myth – the legend – that has elevated the Krays from London's criminal underbelly to working class heroes, sacrificing complexity to bolster that vision.

"This doesn't feel like their definitive story, more a seductive tribute to how they cornered their place in London's history."

Hardy has a busy slate coming up, which includes Netflix movie Havoc from Gangs of London's Gareth Evans. The action-thriller sees the star play a detective who must rescue a politician's son after a drug deal gone wrong, and uncovers corruption and conspiracies.

He is also due to appear in crime thriller Blood On Snow with ​​Aaron Taylor-Johnson, as well as a new gangster series from Guy Ritchie alongside Pierce Brosnan and Helen Mirren.

Legend is available to stream now on Prime Video in the UK and Ireland.
