Public Enemies is a Great Movie

Rating: 10/10 (7 July 2009)

I saw the movie this evening, and was expecting a good movie because of the trailers I'd seen, and because of the other info I had read online about it. It far exceeded my expectations! Johnny Depp's portrayal of John Dillinger was perfect -- Depp really buries himself in the role, and plays a very plausible, believable Dillinger. Christian Bale was good as Melvin Purvis. One of the actors (I don't know his name) grated on my nerves, but that was his role -- and he played it very well; kind of the man you love to hate. I may see the movie again with a different group of friends, and will definitely purchase the DVD when it becomes available.
