Good film.

Rating: 7/10 (23 November 2012)

PUBLIC ENEMIES.
I enjoyed it.
I have been wanting to see this for a while now. I am a Johnny Depp fan and a Christian Bale fan.
The movie is about a notorious bank robber named John Dillinger, played by Johnny Depp. There are only 2 things he loves, his girlfriend Billie, and robbing banks. Christian Bale plays an FBI agent who is determined to catch Dillinger.
The movie has some really good action scenes in it. I love the bank robberies and I also love the scenes where he tries to escape from prison. This movie is set in the 30s and has that old fashioned feel to it.
It is not Johnny Depps best film in my opinion, i prefer the ones where he is made up not to look like himself... but it does make a nice change to actually see his face on the screen.
I thought Christian Bale could have been in it more. He does not have anywhere as much screen time as I had hoped. Also, he is speaking in a strong accent and I struggled to understand some of the lines he said. But this does not ruin the movie too much.
I remember thinking while watching Public Enemies how in a small way it has a similarity to Natural Born Killers. Mickey & Malory Knox were murderers on the run but the general public grew to love them anyway and were cheering for them to escape the police. The same thing happens here... Dillinger was robbing banks and shooting his gun all over town, but he was loved by most of the public. They protected him.
I give this film a 7 out of 10.
Great movie, but like all bio pics, how much of it is true?
