Good, but not 'The Untouchables' TV
PostedJuly 4, 2009

from Los Angeles, CA
Johnny Depp is always fascinating. He was the hook for sitting through a film in a theatre cold as a meat locker. No storyteller can miss when talking about the gangster era, but I kept waiting for it to be more compelling. Styling, artistry and costumes intrigued and fit the period of history--even the 'jumping' camera shots worked. I'm guessing that Mann wanted you to 'feel it' as if you were running alongside Dillinger. At least I'm hoping that was what he was after otherwise it was less than effective. Marion Cotillard was amazing...even more so than Depp...except for the final scene and his whisper message. Now that was very cool.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
