THE FALL OF THE KRAYS is the sequel to THE RISE OF THE KRAYS and another low rent slice of British crime. These two films are B-movie retellings of the famous Kray story, released to cash in on the renewed popularity of the storyline following in the wake of the Tom Hardy film LEGEND. These B-movies are huge disappointments, failing to offer up anything new and also failing to convince in the process. There are barely any outdoor sequences because the budget didn't stretch to much in the way of 1960s-era authenticity, and all of the set locations look bare and fake. The no-name cast fail to pass muster and the two actors playing Reggie and Ronnie fail to look like them and fail to give worthwhile performances too. They're also way too young. The script is below par and offers some really embarrassing trite dialogue along the way. For my money, the Martin/Gary Kemp version of the story is still the definitive version to go for.
