The long awaited next Michael Mann movie - love his stuff and with Depp and Bale starring, it can't go wrong.
The inevitable comparisons to Heat can be made (and there are a few similarities) but Mann's latest is an entertaining and beautifully shot movie in its own right. As is Mann's style, he takes his time, scenes playing out at their own pace; the movie simmers. This is a movie that entertains the brain cells and will hold up to repeat viewings - a beautifully constructed and captivating telling of John Dillinger's life as Public Enemy No. 1. To appreciate not only Depp, Bale, et al and Mann's subtle direction, but also the crystal clear digital photography - go see it on the big screen, if it isn't too late. The worst thing is: having to wait for Mann's next one!!
8.5 out of 10
