Fun action, thrown together romance

Rating: 7/10 (18 July 2009)

The action in this film is very well done, reminiscent of "Saving Private Ryan" with angles of shots that make you feel at times like you are seeing what someone participating in the shootouts would see.
The romance seemed a little more thrown together than everything else, and having just read another reviewer's comments that that may not have been as factual as the rest of the movie's content, I find that fairly believable.
The movie doesn't disappoint for the most part though, and if all or even most of what occurs in the film is based on true events, Dillinger was indeed a very likable(sp) guy, in a "i steal money and kill people, then act nonchalantly about it" kinda way.
The only problems this film had were some character dialogue and/or choices being stupid or bad, and it was kinda lengthy but still managed to be enjoyable (and possibly educational...or is that a con?) for the most part.
