This movie makes Sweeney Tood look like it was written by Rogers and Hammerstein!
For a period piece, there were problems for myself and wife. The opening sequence was good and looked like a good movie. No close emotional attachement developed. Towards the end I didn't care about the final fall of Dillinger. The musical selections occasionally used actual music that would be found from the early 30's. If you're interested in feeling like the time is pre-WWII 1933 this movie did not reach that for us. Some of the cinemagraphic appearance looks as if you took a camcorder and shot it yourself. I've watched a lot of the classic James Cagney, Edward G. Robinson movies of the time and this felt like a simulation.

No, I do not recommend this movie.
