Public Enemies Trailers

Depression-era bank robber John Dillinger's charm and audacity endear him to much of America's downtrodden public, but he's also a thorn in the side of J. Edgar Hoover and the fledgling FBI. Desperate to capture the elusive outlaw, Hoover makes Dillinger his first Public Enemy Number One and assigns his top agent, Melvin Purvis, the task of bringing him in dead or alive.

Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Acting: Marion Cotillard was surprisingly good, even though I never liked any of her performances(she was godawful in The Dark Knight Rises). Christian Bale was surprisingly bland, even though I loved his every other performance(he was fantastic in The Dark Knight Rises). Johnny Depp was quite alright. 7 /10Direction and cinematography: Fine. 7/10Soundtrack: Very boring. 3/10Plot: Repetitive. And even though there were many action scenes, the movie was boring. I checked my watches every few minutes. The ending was fine, except for the very last scene, that was not believable at all. 5/10Overall: Michael Mann didn't even try to come close to Heat in terms of quality. The script wasn't great, the romantic scenes were awkward, but the scene where Dillinger is escaping his second prison, that was very good. 6/10Best scene: The second prison break.

A great acting cast headed by Johnny Depp. A great biographical film, but greatly defined where it enters the zone of dramatic and criminal. The action is intense and requires you to follow the next event every moment. The time and place in which the action of the film is placed, which is the thirties of the last century, are excellent. In my opinion, the rating could be 8.2.

I couldn't hear a damn word they actors said in this movie. This film had the worst sound I have yet to experience. The dialogue was very muddy as if the boom mike was wrapped in cotton wool. The background ambiance was overpowering to the point of annoying and the gun shots were deafening. Micheal Mann is not my style of director and I dislike his writing. So why do you ask , did I set through this movie? Johnny Depp is why. I find him fascinating to watch and love his acting and delivery. But even Johnny couldn't bring life to this script. A decided lack of character development and to many characters overwhelmed the screen many times so it was difficult to determine who was who in some cases. I will not recommend this film.

For me one of the most touching Gangstermovies! Modern in the making and a lot of amazing pictures and emotions.Johnny Depp is the King. Best of all is, John Dillinger is not a fairy tale he lived! He's like the real Robin Hood from the United States. Real, Touching, good Acting, perfect Cast, amazing Story. It's about how to enjoy life. And never know when it'll end. John Dillinger is a role model! Not his work but his attitude and really is! I think this movie is for men and women. It's not about shooting around without reason! It's action, drama, love story, biography - it's amazing! Cheers
