So, I guess what The Krays is saying is that the twins were good people and that I must view them through a
different perspective.
*yawn* Yeah, right, I'm not buying this. It's one of the most poorly directed films I've seen in my life. The
scenes are so stupid that each has little meaning with one another and feels made up. I've been confused
whether the focus is supposed to be on the women or the twins.
At first, I thought I was going to see a cold-blooded, hard-hitting gangster picture. Instead, it's a lot of
women talking with an interspersed violent scene. The story as portrayed is inaccurate and also heavily glossed
over. Hence, it's been pointless when I wanted to know more about the Kray twins. There's no explanation to
why they were among the most feared gangsters in England.
All in all, Peter Medak failed to bring the Kray twins' disreputation to light.
