Twins Ronnie and Reggie Kray are raised in east London, under the influence of their hateful but doting mother Violet. 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 Krays took from them.

Interesting in its British domesticity and sporadic gruesomeness. I understand it may not capture the truth but it’s a very good watch for a casual foreigner ambivalent towards true crime minutiae.
