Excellent Film - Thoroughly enjoyed

Rating: 9/10 (29 March 2020)

I watched this without any expectation of historical accuracy of which, after now reading some of the more negative reviews; there appears to be some inconsistencies.
However, the film is excellent - character development is absolutely fantastic, a rare example in today's 'Marvel universe' of film making. Depp plays the role perfectly, and the viewer; despite seeing a number of heinous acts, feels an urge to support Dillinger.
Christian Bale plays a role which suited him to a tee, and did justice to a man hungry to complete his duty, yet it is clear to see the absence which presides within him when this duty is no longer.
The scenes for me were all of perfect length, detail and emotional value, and there is a careful balance of action and emotional tenderness, which is full credit to the director and the writing team.
Prepare for a whirlwind of hell-bent loyalty, unexpected backstabbing and barbaric brutality, all rolled together in an emotional roller-coaster.
I will certainly watch this again, and relive the enjoyment. Good job to the team involved, and definitely one to add into my collection of great movies.
