Rise of the Krays (The)

First...let's make a film about real-life nasty twins...with two actors who look nothing like each other.

Second...let's forget the facts...embellish others.

Third...and really, this does not make any sense whatsoever...why make a low-budget film with unknown actors...when the same story has been filmed with a big-budget, an A-star actor and goes by the name of Legend...with Tom Hardy playing both twins - one thing is for sure, they will look alike.

Rise of the Krays will simply be overshadowed, cast joylessly onto the nearest forgotten B-movie pile.

Obviously, there were many erroneous decisions made when this was given the green light...but, it is not a terrible film...it's not a great film (far from it)...it's all very drama-school.

Especially Ronnie...straight out of the over-the-top class for inexperienced actors.Calm it down!

Adler's direction is ambitious...but, overly ebullient - you can almost hear his excitement as each scene is filmed.....oooh I love that! More, more. Calm it down!

As a project for the inexperienced...it's a badly-timed decent effort...with nascent talent sprouting here, there and everywhere.

There's going to be a part 2...The Fall of the Krays....why?
