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.
Hands down one of the great filmic achievements 2009 had to offer, and easily one of the best crime films of recent years.
I reallly liked it! I think this was return 2 form for Micheal Mann. The acting was great as well as the characters they were playing. I just felt like something was missing though within the story, I hope there a longer cut on DVD!
But this is a good movie I guess I just exp...( read more)ected more maybe
The beauty of Johnny Depp's body of work is his insistence on playing flawed, tormented souls and this movie's no exception. Flawlessly choreographed action sequences shot on Sony's F-23 cameras - the future of digital cinematography, a well paced script (though it lags a bit in ...( read more)the 2nd act), an awesome supporting cast (both Bale and Cotillard). This is a gangster movie with heart; my favorite Michael Mann film by far.
I thought Public Enemies was a great movie. I love period history pieces, and I have always been a fan of the gangster/crime movies. I knew John Dillinger's story, so I knew how the story would pan out. But, that didn't effect my experience seeing this film, or the fact that I ap...( read more)preciated the movie. I knew what would happen when I went to see Titanic, but it was the story that captivated me.
This movie is not for people who don't like history, or can't sit through a long film. It was 140 mins. But, Michael Mann did a good job with this one.
The casting in this film was brilliant. Johnny Depp has a prodigious amount of talent, when it comes to the craft of acting. So, I knew he would be amazing as Dillinger. It doesn't hurt that he is blistering hot and plays that bad boy roll so well, it brings the ladies to their knees.
Christian Bale is another savory character, and someone's who's strength in acting I've admired, since he was Patrick Bateman in An American Psycho. I appreciated his role as Melvin Purvis, although his voice I found to be a little off putting. It was certainly less disturbing than the Batman growl, so I was able to get passed it.
Marion Cotillard is an exotic beauty, and she was mesmerizing to watch as Billie Frechette. Anyone could see how Dillinger easily fell for her. Her performance broke my heart.
I loved that they had so many well known actors playing bit parts in this film : Stephen Dorf, Channing Tatum, LeeleeSobieskie, Billy Crudup, and Giovanni Ribisi. Kudos to Mr. Mann and his casting crew for that.
If you love a bit of history and a good period piece, or the rush of a good gangster/crime film, you should definitely put Public Enemies on your list.
A spectacular masterpiece no questions asked. It's American Gangster meets The Untouchables. It's the best, most detailed and most constructed crime film of the decade. A stylish, slick, classy and pistol packing crime drama. Director, Michael Mann's best film in years. It stands...( read more) with his crime classics like Heat and Collateral. It's loaded with the flash, cash, class, big stars and all the bullets you could want. A hard-boiled, thrilling, exciting and pulse-pounding old-school action-packed ride. It's a real treat that dazzles and sizzles enough to melt cold steal. It's smart, stunning and wickedly well-crafted. It packs allot of punch and even more fire power. But what truly shines is the star power. Johnny Depp and Christian Bale are magnificent, these two powerhouse performers are at their absolute best. Depp gives a sharp, charming, witty and very charismatic performance. Bale gives a swift, compelling, intelligent and very dedicated performance. These two actors deliver some amazing work in this film. A wonderful supporting cast also deliver terrific performances that include Billy Crudup, Jason Clarke and Marion Cotillard. A riveting and very powerful film. This is an exhilarating and heart-pounding film that will keep you on the edge of your seat right to the very end.
I am torn on this one. I did like Depp's acting, as well the large number of action shoot-out scenes. As far as the "story" was concerned - I wasn't. I sat patiently waiting for the next big thing to happen. Reminds me a lot of Young Guns 2...
it took so long it got me bored...what touched me is the heart behind John Dillinger that though he did wicked things, he did care deeply for his friends...
"Pls help bailey for me, goodbye blackbird..."
Estuvo majomenona. Pero valio la pena. Nada del otro mundo pero si tuvo larga.
The best rejoinder to Public Enemies is Michael Jackson's Smooth Criminal video... It's a tommy-gun gangster fantasia with a touch of Guys and Dolls, and it's everything Public Enemies isn't. Skinny teens
Mann not only lacks the narrative efficiency of old genre filmmaking, Public Enemies' look inspires the opposite of movie love. Download Adobe Dreamweaver CS3

As of right now, ONLY 73% of flixster users have given PUBLIC ENEMIES a positive score! Wow... just wow.
If this film cannot surpass John Milius's "Dilliger" (including showing the Black member of the gang, only shown in that film and in Bogart's "Petrified Forest") I will say it SUCKS major a$$!!!...Same with the Thompson SMG's, not that commonly used in real life, unlike in fictional Hollywood gangster films and TV shows like "Untouchables"...If you have not seen the original Dillinger, go here...
