    This is definitely one of the must-see films of 2009. Bale, Depp, Mann. Forgetaboutit.

    HELLL YES YES YES YES YES!!!!

    I am happy to see Johnny Depp in a serious, non-wacky role.. finally. And this movie should be good.

    This movie is going to be great. One of the must see films of the year for sure.

    It has Bale in it, that's all you need to say to get me in the theater. That guy is a seriously talented actor. His films are ALL genious in my book, and his performances in them are always fantastic. But I will admit that the raspy Batman voice in TDK pissed me off big time. What the hell was up with that? Does anyone here know why he did all his costumed lines like that? Is there a reason, or was it just Bale ad-libbing? I am seriously hoping someone told him to do that, because if he CHOSE to do that, well I'd have to rethink my stance on all of his performances.

    Bad voice work in one performance wouldn't erase all the good he has done previously, but that was pretty stupid.

    And Johnny Depp is just icing on the cake. That guy is pretty damned talented too. I agree with ANGRYBROOMSTICK that it is good to see Depp in a serious role. I love the personal connection Depp has to the character, and I think that will make his performance even more compelling. I just can't wait to see this movie. Even though we all know what ultimately will happen in the end, it doesn't lessen my desire to see it. I'll be there on opening night!

    The raspy voice he used when only in costume was likely another way in which he was simply trying to hide his true identity. True, he could have just used one of those voice scrambler devices like the guys in "Scream," but I think that would have been slightly more tacky.

    I get it. It's still pretty damned stupid.

    Hey! I thought the raspy voice was kinda cool. It was a good way to intimidate people, I think that's why he did it.

    And I've gotta disagree on Depp. I think he lost his film mojo. The guy hasn't been in anything good in a really long time. I just dont think I can trust his choices anymore.

    I'm really worried about this film.

    Depp is my fvorite actor. I have yet to see all his films but I haven't found one that is bad. Bale is also a very talented actor and I can't wait field his take as John Connor in Terminator Salvation. These two actors and Mann directing make this one of my most anticipated movies of the year. These pics look great and I can't wait for a trailer.

    Plus the iPhone compatibility you guys set up is great. Thanks

    What is the story concept though??
  • Cole Abaius · 9 months ago
    The story concept involves watching the FBI grow from a small agency to a large one as they hunt down notorious gangsters in the 20s and 30s.

    And then a band of convicts who have run away off-the-farm led by a dapper George Clooney runs into Baby Face Nelson when some of his folding money's come unstowed. Nelson proceeds to shoot the livestock.
