G-Men (Full Frame)

VHS, NR, 86 minutes, TURNER / WARNER

"G-Men," a punchy ripped-from-the-headlines account of the pursuit and capture of John Dillinger provides the story inspiration as Cagney, one of the screen's archetypal bad guys, gives it to 'em good in a caper that's "fast, funny, as simplistic and powerful as a tabloid headline" (Geoff Andrew, Time Out Film Guide). "G-Men" builds to a fury of bold escapes, siren-wailing pursuits and frenzied shootouts.
