Synopsis: No one could stop John Dillinger and his gang. No jail could hold him. His charm and audacious jailbreaks endeared him to almost everyone -- from his girlfriend Billie Frechette to an American public who had no sympathy for the banks that had plunged the country into the Depression. But while the adventures of Dillinger' gang -- later including Baby Face Nelson and Alvin Karpis -- thrilled many, J. Edgar Hoover made Dillinger America's first Public Enemy Number One and sent in Melvin Purvis, the dashing "Clark Gable of the FBI." However, Dillinger and his gang outwitted and outgunned Purvis' men in wild chases and shootouts. Only after importing a crew of Western ex-lawmen (newly baptized as agents) and orchestrating epic betrayals -- from the infamous "Lady in Red" to the Chicago crime boss Frank Nitti -- were Purvis, the FBI and their new crew of gunfighters able to close in on Dillinger.

U.S. Rating: R
Definitely not the best movie I've seen with Johnny Deep, neither the best with Christian Bale. I kinda like their movies, but I could say I've seen better movies with each of them. Said this, I can say that it is a good action movie. It has a good plot, especially because it's about a true story. I personally love movies related with true stories like this one. I believe the cast was amazing, even though, they looked sometimes more like magazine models than real people, even though, I know that John Dillinger loved expensive cloths & good lifestyle. It's a movie loaded with lots of action scenes.
What did I like from this movie?
1. Michael Mann, the director, decided to shoot the movie in HD format (Viper FilmStream High-Definition Camera) instead of using the traditional 35 mm film. It offered more quality and reality to this film. You could actually notice the quality of this format through out all the movie, but especially when the FBI is getting closer to the gang (John Dillinger, Baby Face Nelson, etc.) and find them in a lonely house. The action scene where everyone is shutting to each other seems extremely real, like it was a real situation and not a movie scene.
2. The two escapes from jail. Both scenes were really good.
3. I liked the way they showed how related was the beginning of the bureau (FBI) with this stage in history of gangs and organized crime in the United States.
4. How love can either create the best things in life, or bring down the worst plans, plots and people.
What did I dislike from this movie?
1. I definitely could expect more from the cast. This movie had an amazing cast, but maybe the plot wasn't the best to explode their best. Even though, it was a great movie, and enjoyed how they played their roles on this movie.
2. I felt the motion got really slow for very few minutes in two different occasions on this movie. I can easily get lost when this happens because I either get bored or distracted.
I would rate this movie with a 4/5
Enjoy it!... Watch it!
