In 1931, James Cagney helped jump-start the gangster genre as The Public Enemy. In 1935, he waged on-screen war against the nation's public enemies. Outcries against movies that glorified underworld criminals put Cagney on the side of the law in "G" Men. Emphasis may have changed, but the elements are the same. "G" Men builds to a fury of bold escapes, siren-wailing pursuits and frenzied shoot-outs. "Anything worth newspaper space is worth a movie," Warner Bros. executive Lou Edel man declared. Here, a punchy hot-off-the-presses account of the pursuit and capture of John Dillinger provides the story inspiration while tough-guy Cagney gives it to 'em good in a movie that's "fast, gutsy, as simplistic and powerful as a tabloid headline" (Geoff Andrew, Time Out Film Guide).
