Genre: Drama
Director: Robert Aldrich
Cast: Charles Durning, Louis Gossett Jr., Perry King, Clyde Kusatsu, Stephen Macht, Tim McIntire, Randy Quaid, Don Stroud, James Woods, Robert Webber
Based on a Joseph Wambaugh novel, this story, naturally, is about LA cops. But, this film deviates so widely from the book that Wambaugh disavowed the film version. Foul and obnoxious and a waste of all that talent. 1 User Review

Genre: Action
Director: Jon Purdy
Cast: Martin Sheen, F. Murray Abraham, Stephen Davies, Catherine Hicks, Don Stroud, Jeffrey Combs, Bert Remsen, Michael C. Gwynne, Clint Howard, Sasha Jenson
To make this film work you must assume that it really wasn't John Dillinger (Martin Sheen) who was shot outside the Biograph Theater, but rather his brother. Then, it makes sense that when Al Capone (F. Murray Abraham) is released from prison several years later and wants someone to recover the millions he has stashed away in the bank, he would turn to John. Of course Capone holds Dillinger's family hostage to ensure the heist is carried out.
