Not without its faults but I enjoyed it- nice to see Johnny Depp playing someone normal

Rating: 7/10 (24 October 2014)

I enjoyed this, it was nice to see Johnny Depp playing someone normal,(not a cartoon character). A longish movie well set in the 1930's following notorious American gangsters John Dillinger, Baby Face Nelson and Pretty Boy Floyd during their booming crime wave.
Possibly because of this has story has been written but John Dillinger's life seemed pointless to me. He was either on the run, escaping from jail or being shot at and never seemed to be able to just sit back and enjoy his stolen bank loot.
Many scenes that I enjoyed but where he walks right into the FBI headquarters and asks the score on the baseball game was pretty hilarious. The ending was also very good. I enjoyed the romance here too, that scene when Billie gets arrested and Dillinger has to leave her and drive away, that look ...a little heartbreaking. 01/13
