anybody else agree with me that the ten minute shootout at the hotel in this film is easily one of the best ever shot on film!? Dillinger is sooo underatted and I prefer this over Public Enemies.

ABSO-freakin-LUTELY

I was amazed with it. Intense, frantic, nicely staged

Love how they used a handheld camera when one guy was coming down the side of the house

Great stuff

I'll take this over the coldly efficient and emotionally empty Public Enemies any day

Yes, PUBLIC ENEMIES cannot compare to this underrated masterwork
