Intelligent and challenging: Mann’s crime epic could take two viewings to fully absorb, but it’s worth every devoted minute.

You might not think it was possible to make a film about the most famous outlaw of the 1930s without clichés and "star chemistry" and a film class screenplay structure, but Mann does it.

Few directors capture seemingly accidental bits of lyrical business quite as well as Michael Mann.

Depp spiller helt ud til de stramme følelsesmæssige grænser, han er blevet givet i en gangsterfortælling, der ikke giver sig af med at sentimentalisere myten...

Det som mest fungerar som en röd tråd och även är filmens styrka, är Dillingers möte med Frechette, hur de blir ett par och sedan försöker få ihop livet trots att han är en jagad brottsling.
