Review of Public Enemies (2009) by Felixkovac — 22 Jan 2015

This is definitely one of Micheal Mann's most underrated movies, and here's why:

- This movie was very well directed.

- The acting, for the most part, was excellent.

- And the story was more than interesting.

Even if I love the crimeThis is definitely one of Micheal Mann's most underrated movies, and here's why:

- This movie was very well directed.

- And the story was more than interesting.

Even if I love the crime sub-genre of movies in general, it's actually my favorite, but if I had to pick a flaw that most of them have in common, it would be the lack of humanity (I don't mean being nice) in the main character. For example, most gangster movies would describe their main character as a heartless criminal, and nothing else.

In "Public Enemies" though, this wasn't a problem. They give enough complexity to John Dillinger (Johnny Depp) to make the audience understand and even feel bad for him when he's going through a problem or something like that.

Christian Bale is always a good actor, and this is no exception, even if it seemed that he tried a bit to hard to pull off the "redneck" accent (when I say redneck, I mean a really NOT subtle American accent).

Finally, I found the story very intriguing. I wish I could talk about my favorite scene in the movie, but it would really great if you watched the movie (preferably by yourself).
