5/10
I'm not too sure.

A tricky review as I have not seen 'The Rise of The Krays' (which reports suggest is far superior). To start with the actors playing the notorious twins do not look anything like each other, so it kind of grated for most of the duration. Despite some intense scenes, key figures in the story only have a few minutes of screen time (which is a shame as there is less character development). The actors themselves are not of the same caliber as other Kray projects and the production costs look pretty threadbare, with such spartan set designs. Saying that the details are pretty accurate and to its credit, concentrates chiefly on the madness of Ronnie; which in all truth was the (utter) root cause of both their infamous rise and crumbling downfall. The friend of Reggie here (and a central core to the story) is based on the real life gangster of Albert Donaghue.
