Good Movie But Could Have Been Better

Rating: 5/10 (5 July 2009)

This review contains spoilers!!
When I went to see this movie, I had high hopes it would be a really good movie - especially with Johnny Depp & Christian Bale in the lineup. Although the movie was alright, it contained several factual errors.
In one scene, FBI agent Melvin Purvis (Bale), guns down Charles "Pretty Boy" Floyd. While this is factually correct, it should be noted that Pretty Boy Floyd wasn't gunned down until October 1934; Dillinger was killed in July of that year.
In another scene which took place at "Little Bohemia", Baby Face Nelson was gunned down and killed. In reality, Baby Face Nelson wasn't killed until November of 1934 and it was nowhere near Little Bohemia.
I just wish SOMEONE would make a movie about a gangster and show it the real way it happened and not change it for dramatic effect.
