Well, lets just say they used a lot of creative liscensing.
For instance, Pretty Boy Floyd and Baby Face Nelson died after Dillinger was killed in real life, yet both die before him in the film.
When Dillinger is in jail in Tuscon, Purvis visits him in his cell. Purvis never visited Dillinger when he was imprisoned. It was the good/bad confrontation though, typical in many Micheal Mann films.
Many of the bank jobs were either changed, extended, or combined off of several robberies.
I can't nitpick on other stuff without spoiling things, but they weren't exactly dead on in historical accuracy. None-the-less, it was a great film with an excellent story.
