Watched this last week, not johnny at his best by a long way. There were no surprises, 6 / 10 and i am a big Depp fan.

slow in parts...b.a. in others...ending was cRaZy!

good movie while a bit disappointing at the same time.

Being a big fan of this era, and of the whole mob genre, this "Miami Vice meets The Untouchables" thing didn't really do it for me. Certainly worth seeing nonetheless.

I failed to find the depth in this game of cat and mouse. It seemed as if the primary goal was to depict the time and the story was just pulled out of a hat.

It seemed as if the primary goal was to depict the time and the story was just pulled out of a hat. I’m sure many will argue, but I didn’t think too much of the Public Enemies other than the charisma of Depp as Dillinger. As for techs: exceptionally poor sound editing! I’m sure the firearms were intentionally loud, but there wasn’t a level of volume to find that would have the whispers audible and the gunfire tolerable.

Disappointingly average, quite long but never really learn what made Dillinger tick. He was obviously very popular with the public although it didn’t explain why.

He was obviously very popular with the public although it didn’t explain why. Also don’t know what the issue with the mafia was, he gets to Chicago and they can’t do enough for him and then in what seems like the blink of an eye he becomes persona non grata. I can put two and two together why but think the disintegration of this relationship would have added another interesting element to the film. Nothing more than a two dimensional cops & robber s film.

Director Michael Mann has taken the story of John Dillinger, and has made from it a drama full of dread and atmosphere, a 140-minute film that in no way seems long, that's a succession of compelling scenes, with no dead wood.

Director Michael Mann mounts a technically proficient, visually enthralling crime drama anchored by the low-key but captivating performance of Johnny Depp as legendary bank robber John Dillinger.

The movie ends with a line of dialogue so startlingly inane that it leaves the picture flapping on the screen like a punctured balloon. It may be the most brutal moment in the whole movie.

Ultimately an odd blend of frustrating and satisfying.

Public Enemies has everything going for it except a reason and a script.
