Depp and Bale do very well and Michael Mann created a beautiful epic feel but there really isn't a story here. Bank robber has a girlfriend and is always on the run from the law. Typical Hollywood ending where hardened gangster proves he is only driven by love (no, no, no, it couldn't be money that drives him). And why do I care what happens to Dillinger again? In two and a half hours, Michale Mann kind of forgot to show the audience why we should sympathize with a bank robbing killer.
