Review of The Public Enemy (1931) by Johan S — 09 Oct 2011
I really think Cagney's performance is overrated, and all the other actors, especially towards the beginning of the film, struck me as very uninspired. The director should've intervened and instructed his actors more. Some good sequences and influential filming techniques, but overall, I wasn't all that impressed with this semi-classic.
5.9.
