Legend

Like most of my generation, I've always had an interest/fascination with the Krays mythology

The other film "The Krays" was a bit lightweight, this take looks a bit better

I met two gentlemen of their ilk once - suits, ties, 7 in the morning, posh far. I stepped off a curb on Stratton Street, knowing the car would have to slow down or stop while I crossed, which it did with a huge screech of tyres. I heard a choice word or two tossed out so I shouted out "F*** off" as I kept walking to the Esso Europe entrance.

Next I knew, the car had screeched up alongside and the two rather large gents in the nice suits and ties had me up against the wall of the building, fee dangling.

"Wod you say sonny Jim?", said the contorted face thrust into mine. "You smiling now, are ya?"

I think things would have gone badly, especially after I replied "I said 'F*** off', mate" (only a lot more strangulated than that) if the security guard, Robin Hood (seriously!) hadn't stepped out of the door to see what all the fuss was. The one dude said "Let's go", only not that politely, and with a final shake of the rat, the other one let go, they moved carefully into their car and zoomed off.

Not the Krays - they were in the nick by then - but some of their nice friends. I was lucky

I've watched several films in which Tom Hardy's acting chops were evident such that he's become a favorite; this film looks like another great endeavor - I hope it will be available on Netflix or some other streaming outlet soon!

This should tide you over until it's available
