Type of Movie - True Anti-Hero Movie; At one level it is a boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy gets girl again role.
Notes:
-Johnny Depp Excellent - One of his best
-Good amount of exciting action scenes with real weight to them; People good and bad, die.
-J. Edgar Hoover and Old FBI Man are strong minor characters
-Christian Bale role waaay under-written and performance is flat
-Movie is a bit too long for the content; it ebbs and flows
-Liked the rich quantity of characters
-Bank robberies were OK but underwhelming
-Story structure is subtle
-Dillenger character development is undersold.
-Sometimes you don't know where the movie is going.
Act I: Establish Characters, Dillenger falls in love but still lives for the thrill
