Very good. Oscar worthy.

Rating: 10/10 (17 July 2009)

In my opinion, Public Enemies is the best movie of 2009 so far. Johnny Depp's portrayal of John Dillinger was very well done and the film is definitely Oscar worthy. I did not know too much about John Dillinger until I saw this movie but when I did it cleared up a lot of questions I needed answered. I found Public Enemies to be a 1930s version of Heat and another version of the movie Road to Perdition. Aside from the storyline, I will be surprised if the film does not win or is not nominated for an Academy Award for Sound. The sound of the machine gun fire and gunfire in general was very well done and deserves an award or several awards in 2010.
SPOILER: Even though I did not know much about Dillinger until seeing Public Enemies, I found the death scene at the end to be dead on from what I read about him. However, certain flaws I found in Public Enemies were that certain characters were killed after Dillinger in real life while they were killed before him in the movie.
Aside from the flaws, I believe Michael Mann did an excellent job on Public Enemies and I believe it should be nominated for Best Sound, Best Sound Effects Editing, Directing and Picture at the Oscars in 2010.
10/10
