What's The Story
America is drowning in the dismal depths of the Great Depression, and all over the country, the common man is harboring a hatred for the Big Bad Banks. Enter charismatic bank robber John Dillinger, folk hero to the masses and the scourge of the FBI. The Bureau sends the debonair Agent Melvin Purvis after Dillinger and his gang in an effort to call a halt to the runaway crime spree, but in order to catch a notorious criminal, the lawmen must learn to think like criminals themselves.Three Good Reasons
