The Krays tells the story of the notorious London East End gangsters Ronnie (Gary Kemp) & Reggie Kray (Martin Kemp) from their humble upbringing to the top of post-war London gangland with some seriously nasty antics. They ruled through fear, intimidation... Full review

How "The Krays" fails would take a book, and that tome would example the way nearly every sincere effort at reproducing real live people on film comes to a bad end. First, the real Krays apparently had script approval based... Full review
Not bad entertainment

Not bad entertainment but not good enough for a classic. Some people have mentioned that the Krays gave their approval to the script. This was a bad thing. Now they are both dead. The Kray story should be done again,... Full review
This was the U.K.'s finest hour with The Krays in the spotlight. The right time and place it was to capture the true story of England's most notorious gangster's terrorising the East-End streets of London.Shocking and brutal it was as... Full review

(Contains spoilers)This film is one of those films that only fully reveals itself once it is all over. When it finished, I must admit that I found myself thinking that the ending seemed to come rather suddenly, without much explanation.... Full review
The Krays probably would have liked their film.

Peter Medak directed this film from the screenplay of Philip Ridley. Both have done great films like Romeo Is Bleeding (Medak) and Passion of Darkly Noon (Ridley) and The Krays is not an exception. It tells the story of real... Full review
It`s The Steven Berkoff Show

Theo Robertson - imdb.com
Do I detect that Steven Berkoff was slightly put out at appearing in this ? He must have since he tends to ruin THE KRAYS with some of the hammiest acting ever seen on film . For each and every... Full review
SPOILERS...It really baffles me how so many people still think the Kray twins (both now mercifully deceased) were "top geezers" who'd have done "anything for anyone". Even various showbusiness celebrities have joined the ranks of these braindead brown-nosers, sending flowers... Full review
What a big disappointment

Christopher Owens - imdb.com
This looked like a promising film: a portrait of Britain's most feared gangsters with great performances and some stylish,but graphic violence.How wrong I was.True, the violence was graphic etc but the film was let down by a script which ignores... Full review
