Twins Ronnie (Gary Kemp) and Reggie Kray (Martin Kemp) are raised in east London, under the influence of their hateful but doting mother, Violet (Billie Whitelaw). As they grow up, Ronnie's violent nature takes over, and Reggie follows his brother's lead. The two become notorious crime lords who rule over the East End club scene. But at the height of their power, the brothers veer into different lives, giving the older crime bosses a chance to reclaim what the Kray twins took from them.

The movie is not simply a catalog of stabbings, garrotings and bloodletting. It goes deeper than into the twisted pathology of twins whose faces would light up with joy when their mom told them they looked just like proper gentlemen.

Rated: 3.5/4

Though cinematically accomplished and containing strong performances by British theatrical heroine Whiielaw and most of the female cast, The Krays remains, for all its pop psychoanalysis, resolutely superficial.

Medak stuffs [The Krays] with all of the brawling, bloodshed and wise guy grandiosity that a fan could want in a gangster flick.

Good film, spoilt by Gary Kemp's hammy, amateur performance.

Violent and insightful regarding a certain way of life during a certain period of time. They don't know you, but you know them.

Based on the infamous 1960s east-end Kray twins. The deadpan portrayal of brothers who held a stature of significance. A dated play of life's reality resonating through the experience of each character.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars
