There are too many scenes of chasing and gunshots. The director could have saved some gun scenes and tried to develop some stories. Why did Billie end up loving John Dillinger? There is no story. At the end of the movie, John walks into the police station, to the office of the team that tries to catch him. He askes some guys that are still in the office what the baseball score is, but then that's the end of the story. Nothing developed further. This is a purely waste of time. And then after this, we see that last scene at the theater, when an army of police surround the theater, and all it takes is bang bang, 2 shots. John does not even have a chance to fight back. This simply shows me how poorly the screenplay is written, and because of that, there is not much room to show acting either. Johnny Depp only had to stay cool, wear his poker face, bang bang, people bleed and die, the audience see blood and they are happy.
