Shot way TOO DARK

Rating: 2/10 (18 August 2011)

The lighting is absolutely dark in the movie. Avoid. Ruined a good script and the audio at times was too quiet. The acting wasn't bad beside a few of the bank robbers looked really cheesy. Mr. Depp was good in the movie, when you could see him. It's hard to imagine in this day and age they would light a set like this and expect us to think it is some mood setting depression era look or feel. It's not. Also many of the Chicago cliques were repeated that you see in every Chicago film that is overdone. Also while the dialog was mute at times, the fighting scenes were way overdone. The sound would spike up to the point that it was deafening. Maybe they went with a cheap sound and lighting crew to pay all the big actors in the movie, but it shows in what could of been a great film had they caught on early and re shot all this junk.
