Review of Public Enemies (2009) by Rickr. — 03 Jul 2009
Mann had the daring to invent a visual vocabulary for the gangster film, and it pays off with the best film of the genre since Bonnie & Clyde. The camera takes in actors and action alike with unhurried deliberation, more or less in real time, and it brings the human scale of both into sharp relief.
As slickly stylish as the film is visually, it doesn't get in the way of a great gangster film that is also a great love story.
