Convincing

Rating: 8/10 (28 December 2014)

When the movie is all about the crime, robbery, mafia, and the police thief mega-play then the arise of complexity in the plot is not unusual, you get to see lots of twists, sub plots that follows the main story and plenty of confusing stuffs, yup it also might be the style of presenting such genre.
But after watching 2009's ''Public Enemies'' such idea totally changed, the narrative is so simple and exact to the point, the movie sets during the black crime age in US where the name of the notorious bank robber John Dillinger made many cops insomniac, the frustrated agents get into the search after losing him once from their clutches, meanwhile there goes the inseparable bonding story between Dillinger and his love interest Billie, all his men are shot dead by the federal men and his only hope is to reach Billie, does he get to her and what happens to such a most wanted criminal? This forms the rest of the story.
Johnny Depp had always succeeded in rendering the most magnificent performances in his several movies and this isn't the exception, he had done the best in the shoes of Dillinger, Christian Bale as the FBI agent had made quite a appreciable performance, its Marion Cotilard who steals the show with her marvellous acting skills, her role as the Billie is the best, cinematography and the entire settings of the movie is so convincing with heightened authenticity, overall its best of its kind.
