Solid historical events turned movie
PostedJuly 13, 2009

from Santa Monica, CA
After watching a documentary on Dillinger, I went in with a knowledge of the actual historical events surrounding the times and people this movie is based on. I believe they did an excellent job staying true to history while adding tasteful and enjoyable theatrics. Johnny Depp does a great job portraying John Dillinger and this is one of his best roles yet. The audience becomes so empathetic to Depp's character that he becomes a hero and protagonist when he is in fact a criminal and a killer. Being that it was a theatrical representation of history, I felt they could have pushed the love story more, even though it was already a strong core plot of the movie. Also, Christian Bale's supporting role performance was well done.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
