Advantages: Well made and great cast

Disadvantages: None really

So well made, Martin & Gary the Kemp twins (from New Romantic 1980's band Spandau Ballet) playing the Kray twins - infamous British villains. The film is excellent to watch on it's own merits, a story of the Krays lives in gangland Britain from the second world war right through to modern day.

To discover that the film is based on real events that have actually happened puts the film on a whole new level when you watch it. Only a few of the original locations that featured in the lives of the Krays still survive into current day. The most well known would be the pub where they meet Jack "The Hat" McVitie.

Some of the best scenes of the movie include their personal story of National Service, the opening and running of their club and the death of their mother are probably what made the movie so enjoyable for me.

Its a great and unusual part of British history, most of which I wasn't aware of as the Krays were jailed the year I was born. I think any fan of British films would find it both entertaining and enlightening.

Watch it and enjoy it.
