It's a biographical gangster film about the Cray brothers, who take them down one step at a time after their short-lived glory days. Why do they say that their glory is short-lived? From the initial gangster in East London to a well-known neighborhood in the neighborhood, becoming the owner of a bar and casino, and even leaving a name in the Prime Minister's place, and then with Fran's suicide all the way down until Reggie's death Imprisoned for only a year. (It can be seen from the brother's love line) Is the whole film a running account? Maybe it is, but all the lines are foreshadowed to the last moment when the contradictions collide, creating such a tragic ending, Fran committed suicide, and his younger brother sent a high hat to kill The housekeeper, the elder brother tore his face out of control and murdered, everything was so dramatic. But to be honest, I also came to watch this movie with Tang Laoshui's face. After watching it, I felt that the movie was not as bad as the reviews said. It's not like a Hollywood-style beginning and a climax and an ending structure, but the climax is absurd but reasonable. Who makes the younger brother neurotic?

Until, I'm not thinking it anymore; I'm broadcasting , through his skull and into his brain. 'Til he looks back at me and says "Ron, do you fancy my sausage? I've got no appetite this morning."
