Summer is usually a time when special-effects-filled movies are released and harvest money. Yet this year, there is one movie out of the mainstream line: Public Enemies. The good reason to see this is just one: It's Johnny Depp, Christian Bale, and Marion Cotillard so it must be flawless.
The movie tells about the story of one of America's criminals named John Dillinger. Dillinger had been caught several times but still managed to get out of the prison. This made the Feds furious. So, the FBI put a special team with special funds to get Dillinger or to kill him rightaway. Dillinger was smart and also kind of a rogue Robin Hood. He was admired by Chicago people who gave him a place to hide. He was not the type of criminal who greedily take all the money in the bank. However, the leader of the Dillinger Squad, Melvin Purvis who succeeded killing another gangster, Pretty Boy Floyd ambitiously and smartly pushed Dilinger and his friends to the corner. He even captured Billie Frechette, Dillinger's girl, and made use of her to be a bait to seize Dillinger. Foolishly, John Dillinger, dubbed as public enemy number one was invisible to people and police. Dillinger managed to watch a Looney Tunes movie with all the people and wander freely to a police station and even asked a football match score to a bunch of police. Dillinger was only known to several cops only. Sadly, Dillinger was betrayed by his used-to-be-safehaven-friend and shot dead infront of the theatre.
The movie is a serious Oscar contender for next year. To me, Johnny Depp gave one of his best performance and so did Marion Cotillard with her American accent. I do hope Johnny Depp get an Oscar finally. Christian Bale, as always, played his part seriously. There was also a very little of Channing Tatum who played Pretty Boy Floyd, his face was barely visible. I thought Tatum would get a quite big portion there. Director Michael Mann was great at this kind of movie as he helmed Heat and Miami Vice previously. The movie is also decorated with wonderful oldies melody which includes Bye Bye Blackbird sang by Diana Krall. The movie was very intense and thrilling with its old rifle battle. Undoubtedly this is one of the best movies of 2009. Public Enemies: rated A.
