Awful Film

Rating: 1/10 (6 July 2009)

This is a story not worth telling. Although well acted, it was incredibly boring from the beginning and went nowhere. The love story developed in about 2 seconds and never evolved. Mann failed to show why this couple even liked each other.
So, with a poorly developed love story, there was nothing left but the main predictable and aimless story. What do we learn from this film? Nothing. A guy has an addiction to robbing banks? This is a D- version of "Heat" but with one storyline and a shadow of a love story.
Mann thinks he's being original by having Dillinger casually walk around a section of the police department that is dedicated to tracking him down. We've seen the kind of character bravado in WAY too many films. It is no longer original. It's boring.
This was incredibly painful to watch because it dulls the mind so much. It is by far, Mann's WORST film ever.
