there be disturb element to the film . mainly and that the gang kill and rape indiscriminately and just because they can and depend on their mood at the time . which make this film slightly uncomfortable a it be base on a true story . although how much of the film be true i be not sure . but the film do come across a a cross between bonnie and clyde and the first half of a clockwork orange . i watch this film and for probably the same reason that most people watch it today . because it contain an early performance by de niro . and although he be the best thing in it and that isn not say much . he doesn not really give any indication of the big star or act guru he be only a few year away from become . but that isn not really his fault . what let this film down the most be not the acting and but the script . none of the character be develop at any point to become interesting and or for you to care what do or do not happen to them . nor do we have any empathy for most of the victim . one be so particularly stupid i find myself want them to get their sticky end . the army of g men chase them be not develop and so there be no antagonist for the gang . the gang themselves get on pretty well with each other so there no drama there . this film really be a wasted opportunity and by the end of it you really couldn not care less .
