"I was raised on a farm in Morrisville, Indiana. My mama ran out on us when I was three, my daddy beat the hell out of me cause he didn't know no better way to raise me. I like baseball, movies, good clothes, fast cars, whiskey, and you... what else you need to know?" Public Enemies is an excellent slice of mature entertainment, and a welcome alternative to the silly, overblown blockbusters of the dire 2009 summer season. This predominantly factual retelling of the descent of John Dillinger is a synthesis of an irresistible triad of elements: a stylish director (Michael Mann), an incredible actor (Johnny Depp), and a great American myth (Dillinger and the golden age of bank robbers). Public Enemies has inevitably been tagged as Michael Mann's Heat in a Depression-era setting, and the si...Read more

Before i was going to see this movie i had high expectations for this movie, sky high actually. Why you ask? well, because of this; Johnny Depp + Christian Bale + Marion Cotillard + Michael Mann. And it would be very intersting if the camera angle Michale Mann uses are any good in this movie. To start with the good things. The actors did their job. The Chemistry was not that bad, Depp and Cotillard played too unserious couple - but that's the movie itself, and not the actors, mistake. Christian Bale does one of his best jobs though, except (for me) "Batman Begins", "The Dark Knight" and "The Machinist" The action scenes was also not too bad. I got a really good feeling in maybe the first 20 minutes, but after that, the movie got boring and more boring, until it got uninteresting. ...Read more

''I like baseball, movies, good clothes, fast cars... and you. What else you need to know?'' The Feds try to take down notorious American gangsters John Dillinger, Baby Face Nelson and Pretty Boy Floyd during a booming crime wave in the 1930s. Johnny Depp: John Dillinger The latest offering from Micheal Mann highlights the infamous John Dillinger and the 1930s depression era, a time of high crime and when bank robbery was big business. Public Enemies is expertly shot, if what sometimes dizzyingly shakey true to Mann's style, poise, and essence in the way he shoots and makes a film. It is also a historical story filmed in a modern way which puts a totally new spin on things. Interestingly the costumes, sets and chases are excellently displayed, and we really believe we are righ...Read more

Firstly, I have NOT seen this. I just wanted to express my excitement for this films release. It is going to be amazing, awesome and perfect in every possible way. No, I can't guarantee that, but I have a strong feeling that this will become one of my fave Johnny Depp films. The cast is brilliant, so many of my fave actors are to star in this film. Johnny Depp, Christian Bale, Channing Tatum, Marion Cotillard, Giovanni Ribisi, David Wenham... just... WOW! With a cast like that there's no denying that this has the potential to be a truly outstanding film. And to be directed by the one and only Michael Mann.. what a legend he is. Another great reason that I am looking forward to this flick. So yes.. that is my shortened excitement for this film in words. I could go on for hours.. but, ...Read more
