this isn't about Dillenger's life

Rating: 7/10 (7 May 2011)

if you honestly thought that his was about his life, then you are wrong and are viewing this movie that wrong way. this movie is based on the book that chronicles his crimes and the formation of what we now call the FBI. if you are looking for how Dillenger grew up, what made him become a criminal, then you are watching the wrong movie. this movie did a good job on how Hoover was able to create what the FBI has now known to become. that is what this movie is about. not about Dillenger was about, but how he was caught. so i will give this a 7 out of 10 because it really is a good movie. it is not a classic, one that 20 years from now will be rejoiced, but it did what it was supposed to do. archive the FBI and how it caught its first real criminal.
