Gripping... violent... immoral... and that's just Marion Cotillard!

Rating: Null/10 (2 April 2014)

In this disturbing post-feminist morality play about violent men and the women who love them, Johnny Depp stars as the troubled young man with a damaged relationship and an on-again/off-again moustache.
Marion Cotillard shines as the cynical girlfriend with a fur fetish.
Christian Bale (in a role better suited to Ben Affleck, who left the production citing 'unspecified concerns') delivers a brief cameo performance as misogynistic cop Melvin 'The Perv' Purvis, but struggles to convey the emotional nuances required by this deceptively simple role.
Roger Ebert described 'Public Enemies' as a thrilling period drama with vivid social metatextuality. It is difficult to find fault with this analysis.
I rate 'Public Enemies' at 23.31 on the Haglee Scale, which works out as a solid 7/10 on IMDb.
