But, as soon as Dillinger is arrested, he makes his swift escape and starts the wild police chase to catch him once again.

I grew up in Crown Point, Indiana. Having them film on location was great for the entire town. Not much happens in that town these days. Looking forward to seeing the movie!

I am totally stoked to see this! I am a huge fan of Johnny, Christian, and Channing and by the looks of it, they will be amazing together. Although I'm not a bang em up gangster movie fan, I am a history freak and this just looks incredible. It helps that the three men are extremely gorgeous and talented. My mom and dad are from Indiana and knew who Dillinger was so I think this will bring in everyone.
