This was not what I expected - I expected a little swashbuckling, swaggering attitude, some humor and glitz mixed in with harsh reality. This was not sugar coated it was not glitzy and it was not charming - But it was moving, horrifying in parts, a strange love story at times, probably closer to reality than most of these types of movies. Johnny Depp does not protray Dillinger - he becomes Dillinger. At the end everyone left in silence - mixed emotions I'm sure - this is a must see movie.
