It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

Great Film overall

There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Very poor movie , both acting and story are very amateur , but when it is vying with tom hardy and the kemp brothers performances it really has to be a little special and sadly its not

The Krays, 1960's London, the implosion of Ronald, Reginald and company. So what could go wrong with such a platform to build and craft a wealth of scenes? It would appear much. The Rise of the Krays (albeit lacking in substance) had the ability to keep the viewer (at least) wondering where the next scene might come from. Sadly, The Fall of the Krays comes with no such hook to grab the attention. The acting is mediocre at best. In fact the only consistent character is Frances' Mum played by Clare McGlinn. There seems to be an ongoing and unnecessary need for the actors to try and portray the twins like like they were Phil and Grant Mitchel. Overreacting, overacting and not at all believable; the company they keep much the same. If you're after a quick hit of good old-fashioned violence, mockney accents and loads of shouting after a few pints down the pub, this one's for you. If you want a little more then give Legend a go with Tom Hardy. It's more believable in half the time. If you want to watch a film about the Krays with the Mrs and you're a newby then give the Kemp boys a whirl. Not the best.

I watched Tom Hardy as the Krays which had excellent script good dialogue, top rate acting, then I watched this film and at times it was laugh out loud poor. I take it the bloke who played Reggie Kray must have gone to the shout at every opportunity school of acting. At times it resembled a Harry Enfield sketch with the calm down, calm down lines. The story of the Krays is well known territory but if you were unaware this would have made little or no sense, it really was a disjointed script with dialogue which was painful. Your can not expect the actors to look exactly like Ronnie and Reggie but when you have a character shouting at Reggie "fat poof" while the actor looks anorexic it just looks plain stupid. One of the worst Kray movies I have endured.

I never like giving a low score to a film, but after watching this I don't really see how I can possibly grade it any higher then a four. I'll start with the positives, in terms of period detail, it looked really good, the clothes, the cars, I felt they did a fairly good job at capturing the atmosphere of the era.Sadly the film never engaged me, I've read some of the books on The Krays, and at no point did I feel the two leads I was watching in this were the Kray Brothers, firstly appearance, I know you can't expecting a perfect likeness, but they just seemed a little off. In terms of them as characters, that is where I had main issues, possibly it would have worked better as an independent film, nothing to do with the Krays. I felt Simon Cotton did a slightly better job in the role of Ronnie, but only marginally. Compared to Tom Hardy's film, it's quite a pale comparison, overall a poor follow up to an average opener. 4/10
