Lets take a trip back to a criminal named John Dillinger back in the 1930's!

Rating: 8/10 (6 December 2009)

1933, it is the fourth year of the great depression and for John Dillinger (Johnny Depp), Alvin Karpis (Giovanni Ribisi), and Baby Face Nelson (Stephen Graham) it is the golden age of bank robbery. Agent Melvin Purvis (Christian Bale) is assigned to track down and capture Dillinger. Purvis also is the Special Agent in charge of the Chicago field office. A declaration on the United States first war on crime is declared to capture every dangerous criminal throughout the U.S. starting with Dillinger. J. Edgar Hoover played by Billy Crudup is helping directs this movement of putting a stop to criminals.
Two great actors in my book go head to head in this cat get mouse thriller. In a way, this movie reminds me of "Catch Me if You Can", in which a kid Frank Abagnale Jr. (Leonardo DiCaprio) starts to make fraud checks making up fake identities and being chased by Carl Hanratty (Tom Hanks). One trying to out-whit the other and not be caught doing what he does best which in that case was getting money from fake checks and getting away with it. Love is a powerful thing and when it comes into affect for someone you start to put away your defenses really and become more peaceful rather than dangerous. This movie is a great adaptation of a true story off John Dillinger's life in the 1930's. This movie has a good plot too and should keep you intrigued from start to finish.
