The Rise And Fall Of The Krays

This two part story about the rise and fall of the Kray brothers is very well done and makes you realise what a frightening gang Ron & Reg put together. Each of the two discs run at just under two hours each so the story is well told and not rushed. I also liked the way that it did not get bogged down with the Krays mother as I thought the Kemp brothers Krays film did. It also lets you know that Ron was a homosexual but again it does not get overdone. The two brothers were very nasty pieces of work indeed but you sense that Reg wanted a more normal life, however Reg was a very violent schizophrenic who when he did not take his medication turned into a monster. Reg was often left to clean up after Ron's violent outbreaks. Very good indeed and much better than other films I have watched about the Kray's.

... and I love all this gangster stuff. Hope you will too. Stylish and unmissable. Delivery etc - excellent.

I had already seen the first movie but didn't have the follow up movie and thought I would order it. I thought it was quite a good movie and would recommend it.

The story of the Kray brothers is too well known for further comment. I did not think the actors were chosen for their physical resemblance to the brothers but nevertheless they succeed in producing a chilling impression of psychopathic violence in the gangland of London. I can recommend this product on those grounds.

Another good film on the krays brothers.

I didn't read the bumpf properly so watched "fall of . . ." first. Only found "Rise of The Krays:" when looking for extras. Excellent if violent drama except they look unconvincing as juveniles.

This was well worth watching good flim, but still my favourite of all as got to be 'The Krays' i haven't found one to beat it yet, but would recommend, S T west bromwich

Really enjoyed both films - the first one slightly more than the second, but both are well worth watching. Kevin Leslie shines more as Reggie in the second film, whereas the first film belongs to Simon Cotton (Ronnie) but both are really talented actors who deserve a long and successful acting career. Phil Dunster (Dickie) is also a very charismatic actor and a joy to watch.

I ordered this from Ontario, Canada. The British did a superb job of accurately depicting the entire careers of these two twins. A most needed addition to any true crime collector's library.

there was no mention in the description that the dvd cannot be played on US or Canadian dvd players. now I have to send$ on postage to send back the dvd, waste of time and $
