Title: Disappointing version of Dillinger story
Review: When Richard Dreyfuss is cast as Baby Face Nelson, you know you've got problems. Warren Oates does closely resemble an older Dillinger (of course, the real Dillinger never got past 31), but he can't carry this sensationalized, hare-brained depiction of the Dillinger saga. Better direction would have given us realistic character studies to help tell the story. Instead, the superficial roles overacted by Dreyfuss, Ben Johnson, et al, are little more than props for some of the l-o-n-g-e-s-t gun battles in gangster film history.
