The Krays: Gangsters Behind Bars

About This Movie

So, The Krays: Gangsters Behind Bars is an interesting take on the story of the infamous Kray twins. It’s more a personal journey, really, with Steve Wraith at the helm, who dives deep into his correspondence with them. The atmosphere is heavy with nostalgia and a hint of melancholy, as he recounts those prison visits to Broadmoor, where you get a sense of the twins' personalities. It’s not just about crime but also the bond formed through letters and visits. The pacing is reflective, letting you soak in the weight of their legacy. The documentary style has that gritty feel, and while it might not have the polish of big-budget productions, it’s raw and real, capturing the essence of what the Krays were about. Worth a watch, especially if you’re into true crime.
