My first 'walk-out' since GI Jane

Rating: 1/10 (6 July 2009)

I was extremely pumped to see this movie; Depp is one of the finest actors of the generation, in my opinion. Mann usually does a grade-A job, and the movie is about one of the most notorious criminals in the last 100 years. Surely it has to be brilliant, right? Wrong.
I went in to the theater expecting another Depp masterclass, and left half-way through the movie disgusted at the atrocious acting, story-telling, production and more.
From the terrible use of music, to the total mis-playing of Dillinger from Depp, it was a true bore of a movie. Christian Bale is also getting worse with each movie he does. I really hope he doesn't land the role of Captain Ahab in the upcoming Moby Dick reboot.
Roll on Alice In wonderland; maybe Depp can play the Mad Hatter better than he can play Dillinger; apparently it suits him better.
