What did everyone think of the movie Public Enemies starring Johnny Depp? How did you think of him as John Dillinger?

I liked it. I thought it was a well-made movie. And it has Johnny Depp in it. *sigh* My only real complaint was the lack of historical accuracy. The screenwriters got right all the minor details (clothes, speech, technology, etc.) that had to do with the 1930's, but missed some of the big picture.

For instance, the order of the deaths of the outlaws (John Dillinger actually died BEFORE Baby Face Nelson and Pretty Boy Floyd). And also, real-life Dillinger was shot through the head, the bullet going through his spinal cord and lower part of the brain. He was in no shape to speak at all, much less deliver a final message for Billie. Mind you, all the inconsistancies played out more dramatically than what really happend, but as a history geek I was mentally smacking myself in the forhead half the time.
