You have to work pretty hard to make a boring gangster movie. It takes a true artist to craft a film full of evocative music, car chases, rapid fire weaponry and general skullduggery that makes you periodically check your watch.
You know you’re watching a truly elevated example of the filmmaker’s art when a nighttime Tommy gun shootout in a lonely stretch of Indiana forest seems like a good time to get up and stretch your legs.
But Johnny Depp was spectacular as always.
