Twin siblings Ronald and Reginald Kray resented the English upper crust and flaunted their poor roots... From Great Britain, a furious and fact-based gangster melodrama with Freudian subtexts. Twin siblings Ronald and Reginald Kray resented the English upper crust and flaunted their poor roots like honor badges. Thoroughly brutal men, the only genuine love they had was for their perversely doting mum. In the 1950s and '60s, the Krays rapidly learned the basics of machine guns and racketeering, and they rose quickly to the top echelon of the British underworld. Alas, the brothers came unglued by their tumultuous romantic lives. Ronald took up a gay affair that soured, and Reginald tried, lamentably, to court a sweet girl from the middle-class. [More]
