Anyone with the slightest bit of knowledge of the Krays and the east end of London will notice the glaring problems with this film. When I first watched this movie I thought it was great but having watched it a few times since, (I own it on DVD) it just gets worse with every view.
Some of the acting is suspect and the locations are nowhere near accurate. There are so many missing chapters in the twins life that the film will just leave you wanting more.
Definitely the worst aspect though is the completely inane ramblings of Violet Kray, the twins mother. This was included to add a little drama but you can't help thinking that the film maker's could have included a little more on the police investigations, the disappearance of a few east end villains etc. surely the twins actions could have created enough drama of their own..
