Everybody looked the same. Excluding Johnny Depp's Dillinger, and to an extent, Christian Bale's Pervis, it was near impossible to keep names and faces together. There were too many people in the same suits and fedoras all firing tommy guns. Cops, robbers - they were all the same. I never knew if a good guy or a bad guy was getting killed. There were only two names I come away from the theater remembering - Christian Bale's Melvin Pervis and Johnny Depp's Dillinger. I never knew who was being killed, so none of the killings mattered. Depp and Bale saved this movie. I was kind of interested in the 1930s interrogation practices. How little things have changed.
