La chute des frères Krays

You have to treat it as a normal drama becaujse there are so many mistakes.

Most of the mistakes are with Policeeprocedure. The long haired 'Nipper Read' is not very nipperish and lacks gravitas. He even gets the Police caution wrong and it sounds like something you might hear in an US crime drama/ One of the Police officers handcuiffed to one of the brothers should have retired 20 years ago. IN any case prisoners from the court are in the custody of the prison service, not the police.

The senior Police uniform was wrong as was the name of the rank. Reed's elite squad looked all wrong.

Reed would not be allowed to conduct an identity parade.

I have forgotten the other mistakes.

The Ronnie character with his facial looks was a cross between Ace Ventura and Alex from a Clock Work Orange.

I quite like the film though. Worth a watch.

Luckily I only watched the first 20 minutes as I couldn't endure anymore. Absolute garbage, everyone involved in this film should be ashamed. Hope the lead actors give up their actinf careers as they couldn't act even if their lives depended on it.

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.

The highlight is Simon Cotton's horrendous acting. Worth watching just to be amused by all the poor acting.
