G-MEN [IMPORT]

Details

• Release Year: 1935
• Genre: Crime, Drama
• Plot: In 1931, James Cagney helped jump-start the gangster genre as The Public Enemy. In 1935, he waged on-screen war against the nation's public enemies. Outcries against movies that glorified underworld criminals put Cagney on the side of the law in 'G' Men. ; ; Emphasis may have changed but elements are the same. 'G' Men builds to a fury of bold escapes, siren-wailing pursuits and frenzied shootouts. 'Anything worth newspaper space is worth a movie,' Warner Bros. executive Lou Edelman declared. Here, a punchy hot-off-the-presses account of the pursuit and capture of John Dillinger provides the story inspiration as tough-guy Cagney gives it to 'em good in a movie that's 'fast, gutsy, as simplistic and powerful as a tabloid headline' (Geoff Andrew, Time Out Film Guide).
