Admittedly ignorant on the topic, I found the film interesting as a historical piece. Being amateur boxers allowed them to "one punch" anyone who got in the way. Their idea was to strike first and strike hard. Of the twins Ronnie(Simon Cotton) was menatlly unstable and was difficult to keep in check by his brother Reggie (Kevin Leslie). They controlled the East end and expanded into the West side once gambling became legal. The film showed their violence, gang wars and influence over politicians. I am eager to see the next installment.
The acting was a bit stiff for most of the characters who were sane, but the film was still enjoyable.
Guide: F-bomb. Brief nudity.
