What was the appeal of John Dillinger? The Robin Hood nature of attacking the feds? His public disregard of authority? The fact he obviously must have looked like Johnny Depp? Michael Mann's film "Public Enemies" is a successful attempt at providing the viewer some insight into Dillinger while showing how the government are the true villains.
Aside from Babyface Nelson of course. I admired the job by Stephen Graham (one of many actors who successfully covers up their accents in this film...when will Jude Law and the Pythons learn), but like pass examples in cinema, we are only given the crazy side of him. Surely he was more dynamic than an over-rated Heath Ledger performance?
