Keep an eye out for a fat bald scouser playing (badly) Baby Face Nelson, Tommy..

Theatrical licence with Christian Bale playing Purvis.

Purvis's nickname was 'Little Mel' because he was a short arse.

Bale is 6 feet tall.

It really isn't very good is it?

I like proper gangster films from the thirties.

Think I'll have another rum.

Faux pas in timing and faux pas in detail.
 
Pretty Boy Floyd was killed at the start of the film, but he wasn't killed until 3 or 4 months after Dillinger, and he wasn't killed by Purvis either.

Back to the film...

still watching, despite the factual inaccuracies it's pretty good.
Report call me a taxi • December 3, 2014 12:35 AM GMT
You just missed a 7 minute gunfight Tommy.
Report call me a taxi • December 3, 2014 12:41 AM GMT
Another one for you KM

Baby Face Nelson lived for 4 months and was named 'Public Enemy no.1'  after Dillinger was killed.

In the film he dies first.
Report kenny mann • December 3, 2014 12:57 AM GMT
Did the FBI kill Dillinger, or did the police? A lot of the facts about Dillinger aren't clear.

i like it just enjoy it for god sake

That fat bastard was okay when he was punching a woman less than half his size while she was handcuffed to a chair, but crapped himself when Dillinger turned to face him, despite the fact he had him in his gunsight.

Reminds me of some of the people on here over the years - a total Lloyds banker. 

Would have been better if Agent Winstead had clubbed him with a gun butt in the police station imo.

Although I've enjoyed this, and will record the rest, on balance I preferred the early 70s Warren Oates film.

I thought Bonnie and Clyde was brilliant when it came out (1967?)

But when you see the photos of the real B&C you can see how Hollywood glamourise everything.
