Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

trjash The Krays, 1960's London, the implosion of Ronald, Reginald and company. So what could go wrong with such a platform to build and craft a wealth of scenes? It would appear much. The Rise of the Krays (albeit lacking in substance) had the ability to keep the viewer (at least) wondering where the next scene might come from. Sadly, The Fall of the Krays comes with no such hook to grab the attention. The acting is mediocre at best. In fact the only consistent character is Frances' Mum played by Clare McGlinn. There seems to be an ongoing and unnecessary need for the actors to try and portray the twins like like they were Phil and Grant Mitchel. Overreacting, overacting and not at all believable; the company they keep much the same. If you're after a quick hit of good old-fashioned violence, mockney accents and loads of shouting after a few pints down the pub, this one's for you. If you want a little more then give Legend a go with Tom Hardy. It's more believable in half the time. If you want to watch a film about the Krays with the Mrs and you're a newby then give the Kemp boys a whirl. Not the best.

Saiph90 I watched Tom Hardy as the Krays which had excellent script good dialogue, top rate acting, then I watched this film and at times it was laugh out loud poor. I take it the bloke who played Reggie Kray must have gone to the shout at every opportunity school of acting. At times it resembled a Harry Enfield sketch with the calm down, calm down lines. The story of the Krays is well known territory but if you were unaware this would have made little or no sense, it really was a disjointed script with dialogue which was painful. Your can not expect the actors to look exactly like Ronnie and Reggie but when you have a character shouting at Reggie "fat poof" while the actor looks anorexic it just looks plain stupid. One of the worst Kray movies I have endured.

Paul Evans I never like giving a low score to a film, but after watching this I don't really see how I can possibly grade it any higher then a four. I'll start with the positives, in terms of period detail, it looked really good, the clothes, the cars, I felt they did a fairly good job at capturing the atmosphere of the era.Sadly the film never engaged me, I've read some of the books on The Krays, and at no point did I feel the two leads I was watching in this were the Kray Brothers, firstly appearance, I know you can't expecting a perfect likeness, but they just seemed a little off. In terms of them as characters, that is where I had main issues, possibly it would have worked better as an independent film, nothing to do with the Krays. I felt Simon Cotton did a slightly better job in the role of Ronnie, but only marginally. Compared to Tom Hardy's film, it's quite a pale comparison, overall a poor follow up to an average opener. 4/10

Neil Grant Both of these films were dreadful. In the 2nd film when Cornell got shot by Ron where was the jukebox the sun ain't gonna shine anymore was playing when that happened but not in the film. The boys who played them were awful never looked like the twins at all. I have followed the twins and worked alongside Charlie Kray. I knew the krays through writing to them . I have read the books. Maybe the person who did this film should have done the same. NOT A PATCH ON TOM HARDY'S VERSION WHICH IS THE BEST EVER KRAY FILM. If you think different fair enough but everyone has there right to have an opinion and that is my total opinion. I thought the original Kray film was good but Tom Hardy is the best by far
