Another Typical Hollywood Template Snoozer

Rating: 2/10 (9 August 2009)

Hollywood big wigs: "Let's make a movie about Dillinger. Just using his name we can assure it will sell to the men. And to attract the women we'll cast pretty Johnny Depp as this ruthless gangster. It's a gangster movie so we need him shooting a Tommy Gun in the beginning. This will get the attention of the men. To get the women's attention he will need to be falling in love within 20 minutes with a touching dialog and quickly into bed. And for a twist let's depict Dillinger (a thug beginning in childhood) as a real gentleman. Women won't like him otherwise. We'll have Johnny Depp pulling out her chair, helping with her coat, opening doors for her, etc.. The rest is just details."
What we have here is just another typical Hollywood template film. I was surprised they did not have Dillinger showing up at an orphanage donating his bank robbing proceeds.
Is there any surprise that Hollywood is in trouble?
