The story of notorious depression-era bank robber John Dillinger, a charismatic outlaw who was hated by the cops but loved by the people, is the kind of edgy mainstream role Johnny Depp seems custom made for, and he makes the most of it in this explosive Michael Mann movie. Marion Cotillard, who plays Dillinger’s main squeeze Billie Frenchette, gives the movie just the right touch of soul. The high def video resolution, which looked like crap when projected in theaters, works much better on DVD.
