It just looked too slick for a movie that was supposed to be about gangsters of the 1930s like Dillinger, Pretty Boy Floyd, etc...And it did a disservice to the acting talents of Depp and Bale, as I thought both were really well cast, just poorly used in Mann's movie (I also thought Channing Tatum was great in his brief role but it was too much of a brief role...I think he played Pretty Boy Floyd and should had a larger role in the movie)...And Marion Cotillard, who I usually like, wasn't that great in the movie and far too much time was spent on her character...

Public Enemies was bad too and I expected more and Black Hat was a big mess.

Hope Mann recaptures his magic for his next project with the Sam Giancana and Tony Accardo mob project.

7 Days in Entebbe (2018) — Competently made, this true story should have been suspenseful but instead was mostly quite dull though the performances from Daniel Bruhl and Rosamund Pike were pretty good. However, the juxtaposition between the dancers and rescue screamed, to quote Film Brain, "SYMBOLISM!" instead of being the intended powerful message. 2.5/5

I'll watch Rosamund Pike read a toothpaste tube so I will catch this eventually but I have heard nothing positive about it. Should have been in the same category as ARGO. Even with the dramatic license taken with the actual events, it was an entertaining movie. I would have hoped for the same from this one.

Unsane - 4/5

A mentally frail woman is committed to a mental institution after being evaluated by a counselor who believes she may be a danger to herself. While there she starts to question whether she has actually lost her sanity or if there is a conspiracy against her. Good psychological thriller from Steven Soderbergh.
