Boring film. Remake please.


The story of The Kray Twins is one which could be told a lot better than Peter Medak told it. This film just bored me. Very over hyped.

Remake please.

I agree, a horrible film with a dull script and awful acting, a bit like a combination of episodes of Eastenders. Considering the interesting subject matter it should have been much better. Far too much focus on their immediate family, to be honest who really cares? They left out the whole police operation that caught the Krays as their firm collapsed which was really interesting, they left out Ronnie's struggle with his mental problems in prison, all their criminal rackets like how they ran protection, the murder of Frank Mitchell by Freddie Foreman and Alfie Gerrard. Its begging for a remake, or not even a remake, a completely fresh canvas. Freddie Foreman's actor son Jamie Foreman would be terrific as Ronnie although it might be difficult casting a twin for him. It should be heavily based off the book 'The Profession of Violence' a biography of the Krays written by John Pearson which is a fantastic read for anyone interested in the Krays.
