The A To Z Of Michael Mann | Dillinger
The A To Z Of Michael Mann | Dillinger

Dillinger

Take the Ant Hill Mob, arm them to the teeth, make Clyde a master of detail and Dum Dum a homicidal maniac, and you’re not too far from the Dillinger gang. An outlaw with a playboy’s lifestyle, Dillinger combined easy charm with heavy weaponry: he learnt the intricacies of bank robbery from hardened criminals during his eight years in Indiana State Pen and, after parole in 1933, embarked on a Depression-era spree that made him a popular hero for 13 breathless months. But with the advent of organised crime and the birth of the FBI, Dillinger was Robin Hood in Capone’s world. "He was actually obsolete," says Mann, "but was so damn good at what he did that he managed to survive, despite all the horrible attrition around him." On July 22, 1934, that attrition claimed him outside The Biograph Theatre.

Not a big fan of the Mann, whilst Heat, Collateral, The Insider & Manhunter are all great, Ali, Miami Vice (whichis a terrible, terrible movie) and Public Enemies really aren't all that, they are slow, dull and unfufilling. All well made, but just not all that great. Read More
