Ini dia salah satu film yang ditunggu-tunggu sejak kemunculan trailer dan teaser-nya. Johnny Depp, Marion Cotillard, dan Christian Bale dalam satu layar! whew! haha
To be honest, saya tipe yang malas menceritakan kembali cerita dalam film 
, jadi summary ceritanya kurang lebih begini:
This is the story of the last few years of the notorious bank robber John Dillinger. He loved what he did and could imagine little else that would make him happier. Living openly in 1930s Chicago, he had the run of the city with little fear of reprisals from the authorities. It’s there that he meets Billie Frechette with whom he falls deeply in love. In parallel we meet Melvin Purvis, the FBI agent who would eventually track Dillinger down. The FBI was is in its early days and Director J. Edgar Hoover was keen to promote the clean cut image that so dominated the organization through his lifetime. Purvis realizes that if he is going to get Dillinger, he will have to use street tactics and imports appropriate men with police training. Dillinger is eventually betrayed by an acquaintance who tells the authorities just where to find him on a given night.
hmm.. benar-benar film yang cukup lama untuk kategori film gangster (running time 140 menit!) *jujur aja, agak2 capek nontonnya*. Alur cerita berjalan cepat dan lambat bergantian. Namun, sayang, agak membosankan. Plot cerita diulang-ulang. ngomong2. tembak2an. ngomong2. tembak2an. yaa.. yaa.. harusnya bisa dibuat lebih pendek jadi lebih menarik.
Soal akting ngga perlu diragukan lah.. Johnny Depp sebagai John Dillinger kembali membuktikan dirinya pantas memegang patung oscar *yang sayangnya, belum pernah ia dapatkan*. Satu lagi yang bersinar, Christian Bale. Berperan sebagai antitesis dari John Dillinger, Melvin Purvis, Bale berhasil membuat saya sungguh mati membencinya.. hahaha..
Sound, setting, dan kostum benar-benar bagus. Suasana era 1930an ketika Amerika Serikat dilanda depresi besar benar-benar terasa disini!
Masalah dari film ini hanya skenario yang kurang kuat, durasi yang terlalu lama untuk sebuah film tembak2an *capeeek* dan adegan tewasnya John Dillinger yang konyol *spoiler* hahaha
Bye-bye Blackbird!
Rating 7.3/10
