Brilliant work of epic genius

The way the story was written and portrayed fabulously displayed the time period and the lives of John Dillinger and those closely involved with him. The frequent and sometimes brutal violence was not pervasive, and balanced with excellent storytelling and character development, making this film more complex rather than the average blind action "shoot-em-up" movies. Johnny Depp very effectively portrayed Dillenger's character: a sparse, hardened criminal with a touch of dry humour. The film techniques and direction was masterful, with camera techniques used by documentarists, bringing the audience more personally into the story. The sometimes harsh lighting portrayed the desired moods extremely well. Overall, this was a brilliant film.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
