One of the best gangster movie I have ever seen

Rating: 10/10 (19 January 2010)

The reason I feel this movie is one of the best gangster films is because of the fact it is a true story. In most gangster films there are these glorified fake mafia or mob members that are these larger than life characters who get everything and seem to only be on edge at the end of the movie. This movie portrays the real life of a gangster who has to constantly be on the run. John Dillinger didn't have some mansion to fall back to or a team of lawyers who kept him out of jail no he did it all by himself, the only nice things he possessed was good clothes fast cars and big guns. This is what a real gangster had and this is what the movie portrayed and that is why i feel it is a great gangster film.
Also the actors and performances were excellent and really made you feel like you were witnessing the events as they happened back in the 1930's.
