Dillinger is the only one whose tremendous charisma survives Burrough's research intact. Smart, good-natured and media savvy, he had a genius for improvisational humor. When a cop walked into a bank mid-robbery, Dillinger greeted him with a hearty "Come right in and join us!" He was also as tough as nails. In one harrowing scene, he undergoes amateur plastic surgery to alter his appearance (tragically, they filled in his dashing cleft chin). As for his colleagues--alas, the truth about "Pretty Boy" Floyd isn't pretty at all. But it's a whole...

It's pure To, who's proved in classic cops-and-triad films like The Mission and PTU that he possesses a finely tuned mastery of suspense, of those last moments before the ordinary everyday plunges into sudden...
Nearly every air marshal was once a soldier or a cop, so most ease right into the male-dominated, boot-camp atmosphere. Even a sedentary office worker like me felt a little bolder when I put on the trainee uniform (gray T shirt, black cargo pants, black boots), strapped my leather holster to my side and listened to the first instructor tell the class, "You've got to have a winning mentality.
