Dillinger and Capone
In 1934, J. Edgar Hoover and the boys made headlines for mowing down John Dillinger in a hail of bullets outside Chicago’s Biograph theater. But in fact, according to this Jon Purdy gangster thriller, the Feds iced Dillinger’s brother. Fast-forward five years, when mobster kingpin Al Capone (F. Murray Abraham) gives the real Dillinger (Martin Sheen) an offer he can’t refuse: rob millions from a secluded vault or watch his wife and child get whacked.
