Goofs
When Inspector Nipper Read is searching through the alley after being given the slip by Reggie and his Associate, you can clearly see plastic piping from a condensing boiler on the wall to the left of the shot. Condensing Boilers have only been around the past 20 or so years and the pipe work of the 50's/60's would have been copper, lead or iron.

First off, hats off to the acting in this film - the cast did an amazing job.
I was worried when i saw the trailer but i gave it a chance and I'm so glad i did. Truly a very well put together film, with a plot that carried it through and several audience members including myself cried at times.
It showed the brothers in a different light. Allowing the audience to love them, hate them, sympathise and empathise with them. Tom hardy played both brothers excellently and hats off to the supporting actress who played Frances Kray - she did a fantastic job.
A film you could re-watch again and again, the atmosphere and the wardrobe were key aspects of this film and the director delivered on pulling out all the stops. The script was beautifully written.
That said, I'd ask you to remember that this film is from one take on the Krays, they were a complex pair and short of holding a séance, we will never know what went on in their minds - this film is an adaptation of an account.
Judge it on what you see, don't waste time with trailers that spoil parts for you. Buy a ticket and some popcorn and enjoy!
