For All The People That Actually Like Movies

Rating: 9/10 (6 July 2009)

This movie was one of the best this year. I think that all the crap that producers are pushing out is getting old and viewers are getting tired of disappointments like Watchmen and Wolverine. So a lot of people are saying that this was a "swing and a miss" or "Not worth the time." But in reality this was actually a hard one to forget.
At first, this seemed predictable and in some parts it was. The story was not unheard of, a man who gets a lot and looses what he most loves in the end, and by the way if you care enough about the history in the movie, to wright about it, than you shouldn't see this movie or any movie based on history. Well Johny Depp does not disappoint with this one. He looks a lot like Dillinger and gives a certain realism that's almost hard to find in any of Johny Depp's Characters. Now if you're going to see this just because of Bale than you should reconsider because most of his screen time is usually not focused on him. Which brings us to the camera. The camera in this film is set for realism, action, and desperation, which the film gives all of these with open arms. The camera is some what shaky and the picture is not as high quality but they get the job done on this film perfectly, frame by frame.
But the thing that made me like this picture so much was how you could actually see desperation in Dillinger's eyes and how you feel sympathy for the characters. This is one flick you should see and you won't be disappointed and it's one that could be someone's favorite. P.S. This is a Action\Drama **NOT A GANGSTER FLICK** ITS HISTORICAL
