masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (14 August 2009)

i saw the trailer for this film long before it came out and was blown away by the trailer alone. but what the trailer did was, it gave me the impression that it was a good, exciting action film with Johnny Depp and Christian Bale, two of my favourite actors. so i went in with high hopes, but as soon as it started i got the sense that this film was so much more then an action with good acting. it was a film that as i say "knew what it was doing". The film was shot on many different locations so to move fast they used a small HD camera to film. this for many people almost ruined the film for them, but for me it only added to the realism in the direction and performances. you are in 1933 with John Dillinger and Melvin Pervis...you aren't in a cinema watching a film. i would give this movie a solid ten as it is a landmark and a break through in the world of film. I hope i'm not alone in my opinion. thanks for reading.
