Johnny, what were you thinking?!? I guess that this movie had such great potential but in my opinion, was kind of a flop. Look at that promo poster...even that is enough to make someone want to see this movie.I looked into the history of John Dillinger and his crime spree and its a pretty good thing too because the film doesn't really attempt to give you a background at all. Another thing, its definitely not a traditionally filmed movie...and don't get me wrong, usually I'm a huge fan of creative cinematography but as cool as this movie actually looked, it was more confusing than anything else. A lot of the characters looked and sounded similar so it was quite difficult to place a name on a face and even be aware of who is talking and what side they're on, etc.
The story of John Dillinger and his buddies is defintiely one worth telling...but the beginning and end point these screenwriters and director chose was kind of awkward.
Don't worry, there are plus sides! Johnny Depp and Christian Bale are amazing. Wonderful acting. Very realistic.
Overall, I wasn't a big fan of this film. I give it a C-.
Best song: They actually used mostly score music for the film. Its nothing anyone would listen to for fun ha.
Suggestions please :)
349 to go.
