Review of Public Enemies (2009) by Tarkob. — 10 Jul 2009
Shot like a television show, with no scale or scope at all, a bloated two and a half hour masturbatory rehash of gangster cliches. With no discernable dramatic through-line, except a by-the-numbers "and then, and then" retelling in excruciating, boring detail, this is more evidence of Michael Mann's arrogance and mediocrity.
The only truly amazing thing is that Mann was able to make robbing banks boring. The best thing about this movie was the font.
