Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

La Leyenda (2008), a.k.a. The Legend (2008), is a really weird DVD. First of all, the synopsis on the back of the case has absolutely not the slightest connection with this movie at all. True, the photos are those of the stars, Pablo Rago as young Milliardi, Benjamin Rojas as his stop-at-nothing rival, and the lovely Leonora Rojas as the girl in between. The credits, however, are not those of this movie either. It was actually directed (masterfully too!) by Sebastián Pivotto, not by Eric Brevig, from a cleverly twisting script by Alejandro Ocón and Chavo D'Emilio, not by Michael Wess, Mark Levin and some indecipherable Jemmifer (Jennifer?) Flaciett (?). So it's actually not a film noir – as the DVD promised – but a racing car picture, but far and away superior to any that Elvis Presley ever made. Admittedly, I'm not a fan of the Presley meanwhile-back-in-the-nice-comfortable-studio oeuvre but this is really gritty stuff. Looks like the real thing. Exciting too!
