The Feds try to take down notorious American gangsters John Dillinger, Baby Face Nelson and Pretty Boy Floyd during a booming crime wave in the 1930s.
OK, it's an above-average gangster flic, but not more. It's good to see Johnny Depp playing straight for a cahnge, and he very much carries the whole movie.
On another note: Something felt wrong with this movie, and it took me about a half hour to realize that there was nearly no smoking in this movie (although at the end smoking had a dramaturgic function). I looked it up and there's obviously a smoking ban for such movies. It's quite distressing how history is being re-written and falsified with such ideological issues. This was a movie supposedly depicting the 30s! In that day and age smoking was even allowed in cinemas...
