Really dull.

Rating: 2/10 (3 June 2010)

Depp might be one terrific actor. But not all of his movies would turn out great because of that. This is a clear example of that.
I didn't even watched until the end. It was terribly boring. There weren't action sequences. The acting was bad, even Depp was lousy. I mean, he only acted as the bad guy/smart villain/hero and that was pretty awful. Bale was OK I supposed. He isn't a terrific actor but he certainly shows effort. But I blame all that on the awful script. Not to mention that was poorly directed.
The plot was really bad, and it developed in such a slow-paced form that bored me to tears. It was so supposed to be about bank robberies, but I only saw two of them, and they were both uninteresting. The dialog was bad as well. I didn't feel the connection between characters, so right past the middle I turned the DVD player off and began doing something else.
The other aspect that I disagree with is the glorifying of Dillinger. He was depicted almost as a hero, and he was nothing but a criminal. That was a bad call if you ask me.
I don't know if the ending fixed the terrible first hour and a half. But if the ending is the only good thing, I prefer to watch something else.
