A huge disappointment considering the talent involved in this overblown film that includes director Michael Mann and actors Johnny Depp, Christian Bale and Marion Cotillard. The biggest problem is the uninspired script with no character development or tension that's full of cliches that even the top talent can't save. Furthermore Mann's choices to use HD instead of film backfires despite the capable lensing by ace cinematographer Dante Spinotti and heavy use of music that's rather annoying. The more than capable cast make the film better than it is. The depression era has been well covered by Hollywood in much better films such as "Bonnie & Clyde," "The Untouchables," and most recently "Road to Perdition" that this film doesn't break any new ground. YRCinema's coverage of current releases.
