Johnny Depp: The perfect public enemy

Rating: 7/10 (23 May 2010)

Public Enemy or i should say the perfect Public Enemy was Johnny Depp.The way he has acted in this movie is just stupendous.The portrayal of John Dillinger is tremendous.The way he escapes literally from anywhere is just incredible.Towering presence of Johnny Depp of John Dillinger just overshadows the prowess of Christian Bale.Same,what Heath Ledger did in The Dark Knight,here we see a superb performance overshadowing every one else.The ending was also very good.Michael Mann wanted to replicate the touch that he left for us in Heat.But Public Enemies never lives up to that level.Nor the star-cast neither the story setup can replicate the history of Heat.All in all,public enemies drags in certain places but the actors have done very well.Be prepared for a prolonged series of bloodshed & violence during this film.Some dialogs make your day like 'Bye Bye Blackbird'.Just watch this one for Johnny Depp,his best performance i have seen till date.
