Johnny Depp as depression era bank robber

Rating: 9/10 (8 March 2012)

Johnny Depp plays the role of John Dillinger one of the most notorious of all the depression era bank robbers, his contemporaries being Baby Face Nelson(Stephen Graham) and Pretty Boy Floyd(Channing Tatum). Dillinger is hunted by the FBI Agent Melvin Purvis(Christian Bale), playing Dillinger's girlfriend is Marion Cotillard.
The movie really transports you to the 1930's, you really feel like you're in that era. The writer of the movie seems to have really researches the era great since everything rings true of what it was like back then.
The story also shows the birth of the FBI with J. Edgar Hoover as Purvis' boss and the overall boss of the organization.
I highly recommend anyone check out this movie.
