Review of The Public Enemy (1931) by Edgar C — 09 Jan 2011
Brutal, explosive and honest depiction of a societal stratus raised in the noir slums, bold for such an early year. Tom Powers was among the first personifications that propelled Cagney's name into Hollywood stardom, and still several modern performances today haven't been able to scratch the level of such great celluloid incarnations, let's not say top it.
99/100.
