Johnny is brilliant in capturing the intensity, charisma & charm of Dillinger. I enjoyed the film immensely. The way Mann chose to film it made you feel like you were there in the middle of the action while historic locations added another level of awe & excitement. Time went fast & I would have gladly sat there over 3 hours if Mann had chosen to include more details.
For anyone not familiar with Dillinger, I would recommend doing research on his life such as reading Bryan Burroughs "Public Enemies" book before seeing the movie so you can connect with Dillinger & appreciate Mann's choices to film at the actual locations such as Little Bohemia & Crown Point jail.
I will see it again & can't wait for the release of the dvd!
