Editorial Reviews and DVD Information about Dillinger

Description
From the writer of Apocalypse Now comes an electrifying crime saga about one of the most notorious gangsters of the 1930s. Starring Warren Oates, Ben Johnson, Cloris Leachman and Richard Dreyfuss, Dillinger sets the screen ablaze with explosive shootouts, daring escapes and magnificent performances. Bank robber John Dillinger (Oates) has become a folk hero to the people ofDepression-era America, capturing their imaginations with the exploits of his outlaw "super-gang." But time may be running out for Dillinger's violent band of fugitives; the FBI's finest agent (Johnson) is on the case, and his pursuit won't end until every member of the gang is behind bars...or dead! Charged with heartstopping action and riveting drama, Dillinger is an unforgettable experience hailed as nothing less than "brilliant" (San Francisco Chronicle)!


Customer Reviews for Dillinger

Warren Oates~~~HIGHLY UNDER RATED~~~
Dillinger, made back in 1973 here, is the Best dang Warren Oates movie of all time. Bless his heart, Oates never got the recognition he so deserved. "Dillinger"...a true, fast-paced superb depiction of infamous John Dillinger & his Gang. Do purchase.Dillinger

Shows It's Age
Even if you didn't know any of the actors from this movie, you could still tell it's from the early 70's; 1973 to be exact. The details of fist-fighting and gunshot wounds are the give-aways, as are a few other things. Otherwise, it's a good movie, with an excellent cast. This was Michelle Phillips first try at a movie. Richard Dreyfuss was fresh off "American Graffiti".Dillinger

Warren Oates as Dillinger!
I thought this was a very entertaining movie. It wasn't quite up to Bonnie and Clyde but it was close. It also wasn't historically accurate in all occassions but it was still a good movie. The acting was aslo very good. Warren Oates shines as Dillinger and there are many familiar faces like Harry Dean Stanton and others that fill out the cast nicely. This movie is very violent but so is the subject matter so it might not be for everybody but I recommend it.Dillinger

A VIOLENT RETRO-BULLETFEST!!!!!! COOOOL!!!!
MAN! This movie is COOL and ACTION-PACKED!

Like I said, the movie IS violent: There are many bloody scenes, innocent killings and LOTS OF SHOOTING!!! (like a war)
The acting was also very good and so the dialoge, The 1930's setting was VERY well made, there are some good dramatic scenes and a VERY GOOD 30's soundtrack.

What I didn't like was that the picture quality wasn't THAT good, but the movie is low budget and besides the picture looks clear enough, really! AND what really bugs me is that there are VERY FEW CAR CHASES! (only one actually, and it wasn't that good)!!

P.S: If you are looking for bulletfest movies then buy this one, BUT if you are looking for "retro car chases" then this one is not for you.

Adios.Dillinger

Filmed entirely in Oklahoma
Nice old movie but the highlight for me is that it was filmed in Oklahoma. Scenes from Enid, Oklahoma City, Skirvin Hotel, etc. Movie is decent with some big stars.Dillinger
