About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a gritty, violent Depression-era manhunt with lots of action and moral gray areas; Not for you if you need sympathetic characters or a more polished, character-driven crime story like Public Enemies.
Pros: intense shootouts; gritty period feel; strong lead performances | Cons: thin character depth; uneven storytelling; heavy, brutal violence
