The Krays

This film took years to come to the screen, and the initial question of why bother? is happily replaced on viewing with a qualified at last.

The genius of The Krays, Peter Medak's new film about the most notorious villains of modern British crime, is that the movie is not simply a catalog of stabbings, garrotings and bloodletting. It goes deeper...

...the Kemps use what they've learned about stage presence and channel it into characterizations. They've got the charismatic performers in the Krays down pat, and they play off one another with authoritative ease.
