Johnny Dillinger just broke out of prison and now he's gone right and left robbing banks. The work isn't dusty, it makes a lot of money, so he doesn't really care about the future. We need to live in the present and not look to the future, he said. Then he met a very nice and pretty girl Billy, but there is no task, he began to chase the guys from the Bureau of investigation, led by Melvin Purvis.
And then everything begins as usual in such a plan of films, chases, shootouts (between chases and shootings, bank robberies occur). The plot is absolutely nowhere to turn, from which the film becomes completely uninteresting to watch. But this is closer to the end, at first this topic is not so boring, and on this it looks quite decent.
Mann, in the films I watched, has developed a certain style. He makes mostly crime films, well, if he does well, then why not, but to take, as material for his future film, such a raw story of a bank robber during the Great American Depression, who stood out only because he knew how to rob banks and nothing else stood out, I did not expect such a decision from him. If in the movie “Your Man” and there was some definite foundation for the beginning of an interesting story, then he completely crumbled, if he ever was. A similar story, Bonnie and Clyde (set at the same time but with a more romantic background) is actually the best film in the field. Well, it didn't come together.
The cast turned out quite stellar. Johnny Depp, who doesn't know him? Marion Cotillard, who just a couple of years ago won an Oscar for Best Actress. Christian Bale, who's being shoved into all the bad stuff, all the hundred percent blockbusters and so on. I didn’t like Johnny Depp at all, but he changed his hair 10 times a movie. Cotillard left a very pleasant impression. I liked Bale the most in his role. Such a cold-blooded law enforcer. It was a great show on the screen.
The most interesting thing about the movie is the costumes. They were great on every character in the movie. Not a bad soundtrack. Everything else is very, very controversial.
In general, for fans of this genre of films, it is definitely worth watching, but the film left an average impression on me. Perhaps from the fact that he expected a lot from him, which would not be worth doing, but he was so advertised, you do not want to, but show interest.
