John Dillinger, one of my childhood heroes.
Mafia, and gangster movies are totally my genre. When I found out that it's Johnny Depp, there's no other movie I waited for in this summer season. Not a big fan of Depp, though I always think of him as a brilliant and one of a kind actor, but Depp is perfect as Dillinger.
A brilliant Public Enemy in a brilliant movie.
For almost 2.5 hours, we were brought to the 30's. Feels like the 30's tho (love those times, mafia era). Since the first 10 minutes, we were spoiled with action, strong drama, and details. The Dillinger's escape legends, the robberies, even the hostages method, all there (well, not everything of course). Michael Mann succesfully arranged the balance between action and drama so that no moment is a dull moment. Mann's habit to use minimum background score is at an almost perfect level (well, nothing's perfect, d'oh!). Felt like experiencing the real event, for example, the gunshot scene in the villa, it was tense.
Now the weakness. Well let's see. One thing I felt while watching this, is the lack of description why on earth was Dillinger admired by people? Wasn't explained enough. Also, Melvin Purvis character somehow drowned by the charming of Mr. Wiensted, the Texas Officer. Purvis was seemed so mediocre here.
As for the cast, Marion Cotillard delivers quite a charming performance as Billie. Christian Bale, he is no disappointment also, the southern accent of his, knowing he's originally a Brit, is considered perfect. In acting wise, he is above his standard level, and way better than in his previous film, The Terminator. But apparently Bale is over-shadowed by his co-star, Johnny Depp. Well, for sure, Depp dominates almost all the charmingness in the film itself. a perfect cast for the character. His performance? nuff said!
Many people only give 3 stars for this film, but I'll give 4.5 stars, and I'll stick to my opinion. Heck I haven't seen such movie in a long time. This is absolutely My Best Summer Movie in 2009.
