Paul Constant approves: In many ways, this is a one-man show: Johnny Depp leavens folk-celebrity bank robber Dillinger with more than a dash of young Elvis Presley. When he smirks, you half expect him to be assaulted by a horde of screaming teenage girls. His scenes with Marion Cotillard make the most of that seductiveness: They look like they're going to eat each other. It's really...

Paul Constant is not pleased : John Travolta can't say "fuck" anymore. When Quentin Tarantino pulled Travolta out of the old-actors junkyard, dusted him off, and tossed him on the big screen in 1994's Pulp Fiction , his usage of the fuck-word seemed bold and fresh.
