decent film... but could have been better

Rating: 5/10 (3 January 2010)

Enjoyed the movie and liked the camera arrangements. Costume and scene design were carefully treated.
Leaving aside the fact that C. Bale always performs Bale (I like him, but he's a dull actor and lacks versatility), performances were good.
The flaws, in my opinion, were:
1) the movie is too dark and sometimes characters are really difficult to differentiate.
2) there is no character development. It is a 2:20 movie and yet you don't see anything related to the personal life of the gangsters or Purvis (besides Dillinger's woman, looks like nobody else had women).
