The Rise And Fall Of The Krays [DVD] [2017]

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.

I thoroughly enjoyed watching this as it provided a good insight into the lives of the Krays. The production of the documentary and the individuals they got interviews with made the documentary even better. All I can say is that, despite really enjoying this, you should just watch the movie 'Legend' with Tom Hardy and get a visual interpretation of what happened with the Krays. The information shared is very very similar and its probably more appealing to watch in the movie. None the less I would recommend this for anyone fascinated by the Kray Twins.

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

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.

Love this film great actors great price too

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.

Another good film on the krays brothers.

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.

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 $
