if you take out the skills of "the big movie" made by Michale Mann and the star studded cast i am not sure why this movie would be made? Johnny Depp plays a notorious bank robber who, lets face it, was not a Robbin Hood, or Jesse James he was not charming, witty, daring or unusual he is simply a bank robber Christian Bale plays a character devoid of charm, wit, particular skill etc. he was simply a cop who "eventually" caught his man a well made movie but forgettable
