Legend is released in cinemas nationwide on 11 September 2015. This will be one to catch at the cinema when it's released later this year, and if the trailer is anything to go by, Legend is shaping-up to be a sharp-shooting gangster film that will sit comfortably between The Godfather and Resevoir Dogs in your BluRay collection.

Pre-gentrified Hoxton and Bethnal Green, along with a dose of the turbulent and scandalous politics of the time.
