Well, just saw this one at the movies…
The film is depicting the last days of John Dillinger, a bank robber in the 1930s. I don’t know much about the real guy, but I suspect the movie is very loosely based on the real story. It is a long movie, two and a half hour, and I did get a bit bored at times. Those hugely exaggerated gunfight scenes which is common in many gangster movies, is still entertaining though, and you gotta love the cars. The story is decent, but it does get a bit difficult to follow who died and who did not at times. The story has no surprises and is thus rather predictable. Yet it has its moments. Johnny Depp, who incidentally isn’t one of my favourite actors, does as usual do an excellent job at acting the main character.
6.5/10 for the movie
8/10 for Johnny Depp
