This film looks at the final years of the infamous bank robber. Ineptly written and directed by Milius, the story has no narrative flow. It's a series of vignettes that become repetitive and tiresome. There are a lot of shootouts but the action scenes are poorly executed, with overly dramatic deaths. The acting is mostly bad. Oates seems miscast in the title role. Although Dillinger died at 31, Oates was 45 when this was filmed but looked even older. Also, he plays Dillinger as something of a goof ball rather than a tough guy. Johnson does OK as G-Man Ellison. Oates and Johnson played brothers in the classic "The Wild Bunch," but this will never be mistaken for a classic.
