Depression-era bank robber John Dillinger's charm and audacity endear him to much of America's downtrodden public, but he's also a thorn in the side of J. Edgar Hoover and the fledgling FBI. Desperate to capture the elusive outlaw, Hoover makes Dillinger his first Public Enemy Number One and assigns his top agent, Melvin Purvis, the task of bringing him in dead or alive.

torstensonjohn John Dillinger, at one time one of the FBI's Most Wanted and Public Enemy #1. In the era of Baby Face Nelson, Pretty Boy Floyd, Bonnie And Clyde and even Al Capone, Dillinger was one of the most flamboyant. A bank robber but also one who was sympathetic to the little man. The originality of the film plays a semi poor grasp at historical timing, and does get a few things wrong. strong script with some shining moments by Depp as Dillinger. Depp brings that charisma, swagger and finesse to how collected Dillinger was. The accuracy of the tommy guns and the vehicles I thought was spot on. Christian Bale I found to be rather dull as Melvin Pervis. At some points the character drove the logic of the FBI but mostly it became a vendetta.There were a few points in the fil that were choppy in editing, cinematography was very well done. Filmed in parts of Chicago and even in Wisconsin. If you have a vast knowledge of history and enjoy gangster films then this will fill your viewing pleasure. I give this a simple but worth 7/10.
Bele Torso I just watched a ytube video of some session musicians covering a famous drummer who passed. First thought was, "Oh boy..." and after 30 seconds of the first tune Gaucho, I knew the drummer did not do his homework and pissed all over the groove. How can this happen!Michael Mann is the same...he seems so into trying too hard to create art he misses the mark. Dillinger was boring, horribly boring. Watch Steve McQueen in The Great St Louise Robbery and it is a better movie than this! That is not saying much because that was basically a low-budget semi-documentary in 1958.Johnny Depp and Mann are a perfect match...guys that think too much. Christian Bale on the other hand knows how to act. Deep has become a personality more than actor over the past years. I looked forward to this movie but could not make it through. That has to be the worst reaction to a director's 2-3 years of planning and effort, your audience left early!
rastyjabarf It's one of the best movie of Johnny depp really amazing
Rainey Dawn Depression-era bank robber John Dillinger's charm and audacity endear him to much of America's downtrodden public, but he's also a thorn in the side of J.
