Johnny Depp attempts another complete transformation in new film Public Enemies.

From Willy Wonka, to Captain Jack Sparrow, to a real-life 1930s outlaw.

Set during the Great Depression in 1933, it's the true story of public enemy number one, bankrobber, prison escape artist and general hard man, John Dillinger.

While the authorities consider him a dangerous criminal, among members of the public he's idolised as a modern day Robin Hood.

To combat the rise in crime seen at the time, the FBI is created by J Edgar Hoover and led by top agent Melvin Purvis played by Christian Bale.

Their mission - to track down Dillinger.
