The story of the criminal career of American gangster, John Dillinger…or the story of the battle between Dillinger and the recently formed FBI….except it was neither of these. It wasn’t really an exploration of the character and motivation of Dillinger, nor did it really deliver an epic battle between good and evil. It was just one episode after another.

A good cast, Marion Cotillard, Johnny Depp and Christian Bale, were nicely shot, but not well supported in script and characterisation.

The best thing about this? The memory of an afternoon spent having a nice lunch and watching this without distraction in a great independent cinema  in Edinburgh.
