Diagonaldi Very well executed

ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

Ella-May O'Brien Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

cricketbat How can a big-budget movie about a real-life bank-robber, starring Johnny Depp and Christian Bale be this bland and boring? It's surprising how little I cared about the characters and the plot. I read the actual history of John Dillinger after seeing this movie and I found that to be much more interesting.

torstensonjohn John Dillinger, at one time one of the FBI's Most Wanted and Public Enemy #1. In the era of Baby Face Nelson, Pretty Boy Floyd, Bonnie And Clyde and even Al Capone, Dillinger was one of the most flamboyant. A bank robber but also one who was sympathetic to the little man. The originality of the film plays a semi poor grasp at historical timing, and does get a few things wrong. strong script with some shining moments by Depp as Dillinger. Depp brings that charisma, swagger and finesse to how collected Dillinger was. The accuracy of the tommy guns and the vehicles I thought was spot on. Christian Bale I found to be rather dull as Melvin Pervis. At some points the character drove the logic of the FBI but mostly it became a vendetta.There were a few points in the fil that were choppy in editing, cinematography was very well done. Filmed in parts of Chicago and even in Wisconsin. If you have a vast knowledge of history and enjoy gangster films then this will fill your viewing pleasure. I give this a simple but worth 7/10.

marekerek Acting: Marion Cotillard was surprisingly good, even though I never liked any of her performances(she was godawful in The Dark Knight Rises). Christian Bale was surprisingly bland, even though I loved his every other performance(he was fantastic in The Dark Knight Rises). Johnny Depp was quite alright. 7 /10Direction and cinematography: Fine. 7/10Soundtrack: Very boring. 3/10Plot: Repetitive. And even though there were many action scenes, the movie was boring. I checked my watches every few minutes. The ending was fine, except for the very last scene, that was not believable at all. 5/10Overall: Michael Mann didn't even try to come close to Heat in terms of quality. The script wasn't great, the romantic scenes were awkward, but the scene where Dillinger is escaping his second prison, that was very good. 6/10Best scene: The second prison break.

Eka Herlyanti In the first one hour, honestly, i didn't know what was going on except there were a lot of gunshots and bank robbing. I didn't understand the dialogue and the urgent. What were they trying to do there? I almost confirmed this gangster movie is lame. But soon after the first hour, I could relate to it. I was so much entertained by the chasing and it was so damn cool.John Dillinger is such a great villain. I mean, what a brave person he is to walk into the police department while they are clearly searching for him. Damn! His picture is everywhere. In the meantime, some of the team police look like they don't take it seriously. It's kinda different with other chasing movie where the police are so aware about the fugitive. So far, I think this is the first time I saw Johnny Depp cry in the movie. And the ending is just as sad. Gasping he said "Bye, bye, Blackbird."
