Synopsis

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.

Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!
Catangro After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.
Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Jenni Devyn Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.
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.
rastyjabarf It's one of the best movie of Johnny depp really amazing
marekerek Acting: Marion Cotillard was surprisingly good, even though I never liked any of her performances(she was godawful in The Dark Knight Rises). Christian Bale was surprisingly bland, even though I loved his every other performance(he was fantastic in The Dark Knight Rises). Johnny Depp was quite alright. 7 /10Direction and cinematography: Fine. 7/10Soundtrack: Very boring. 3/10Plot: Repetitive. And even though there were many action scenes, the movie was boring. I checked my watches every few minutes. The ending was fine, except for the very last scene, that was not believable at all. 5/10Overall: Michael Mann didn't even try to come close to Heat in terms of quality. The script wasn't great, the romantic scenes were awkward, but the scene where Dillinger is escaping his second prison, that was very good. 6/10Best scene: The second prison break.
saletehnolog A great acting cast headed by Johnny Depp. A great biographical film, but greatly defined where it enters the zone of dramatic and criminal. The action is intense and requires you to follow the next event every moment. The time and place in which the action of the film is placed, which is the thirties of the last century, are excellent. In my opinion, the rating could be 8.2.
