I really enjoyed this low budget film. It was very well acted and also made me laugh a few times. One must remember that this was based on true events. Good movie other than the lame ending.

After watching this film I logged on to Imdb to look at the reviews. I was quite surprised by all the negative reviews. It was no Oscar winner I would agree but not a bad watch on the whole. It tells the true story of Frank Mitchell a career criminal hard man who escapes from prison and holds up in a safe house provided by the notorious Kray twins. I thought the acting by the three main characters was not as as bad as others had stated, and I quite enjoyed it.

Really is the most boring film I have ever seen. I really wouldn't bother. They could have done so much with this film, regrettably that didn't 🤷‍♂️🤔

Essentially filmed in two rooms and the back of a van featuring anonymous actors. In real life Mitchell's body was trussed up in chicken wire and dumped in the English Channel. This is what they should have done with this film.

I've seen some rubbish quality films on the subject of the Kray twins and their associates, but for poor quality, ham acting and mockney accents this film deserves an Oscar. The actors must be asking themselves what they'd done wrong and who they'd upset to have such roles inflicted on them.

I rather enjoyed it. Low budget that's true, but the film has a real sixties feel and explores a brief relationship between three characters, Frank the escaped prisoner, John charged with looking after him and Lisa, the girl brought in to keep him entertained. There is a claustrophobia in this tight little scenario and the movie is character driven and quite intense. Fairly true to the real story, the ending is both inevitable and sad. I'd say it's worth a watch if you like '60's gangster movies. You won't get to see the Krays though, they're the reason for the film but they don't feature because it's not necessary, the only hand they had in this entire tragedy was the escape of Frank Mitchell and his murder.

After the opening 5 mins I was moments from switching it off. The stereotype cockney hard man gangster accent down the phone made me think it's been made by 12 year olds. But I gave it a chance and actually quite enjoyed. It grew on me as it went along.

Wasnt to impressed with the story or acting, sad ending to poor axeman frank mitchell he did not deserve to be murdered he was harmless really, why they didnt just leave him go hes own way i dont know, he was no threat to anyone, true story of the mad krays glad they were locked up for life should of happened years before it did.
