The background of the film is that during the Great Depression of the American economy in the 1930s, the economic downturn led to the intensification of violent crimes in all strata of American society, which caused turmoil and unrest in the entire society. One of the most notorious of Jiangyang thieves. At the beginning of the film, it was a thrilling escape scene. The protagonist completed this magnificent performance in three minutes, which made me addicted to sitting in front of the screen. It was followed by a series of bizarre bank robberies, forcing former FBI director Hoover to list him as the most wanted public enemy in the country. Immediately afterwards, the FBI began to organize a special team headed by Purvis (Bell) to launch a series of arrests against John Dillinger.
The film mainly revolves around the story line of the battle of wits and courage between the thief Jiang Yang played by Depp and the FBI detective played by Bell. From the style of the film, it should belong to a good police and bandit film, interspersed with a relationship between the robber and Cinderella. Depp's performance in the film is really remarkable, not to mention that this time finally let us see the Hollywood actor who has played various absurd roles such as "Captain Jack", "Scissorhands" Edward, "Mad Hatter" and so on. A normal character for a superstar, just taking Dillinger's chasing after Billie (Marion Cotillard), this performance is good enough. Depp's acting skills exploded even more in the scene where Billie was taken away by FBI agents, portraying Dillinger's desperation, helplessness, and overwhelm vividly. All in all, Depp's performance can be nominated for another best actor Oscar. And "Batman" Bell's performance in the film can be described as bland, completely suppressed by Depp. And Marion Cotillard, who won the 80th Academy Award for Best Actress with "La Viejo", also played quite well. In addition, the film also played the role of "Pretty Boy" Freud, which is hot recently. Channing Tatum.
Director Michael Mann, who is also a producer, director, and screenwriter, has directed The Line of Fire, Muhammad Ali, and Miami Vice's movie wizard. For shootout movies, police and bandit dramas can be said to be very familiar. To be honest, this movie is difficult to surpass. The former two best actors Al Pacino and Robert De Niro co-starred in the hot line, but with the addition of Johnny Depp and Christian Bale, two hot Hollywood men, you will never be disappointed.
