isn't that good

Rating: 6/10 (29 July 2009)

I didn't like it at all, I was suspecting to see another crime epic like The Untouchables, but I was wrong. Bale and Depp doesn't act bad, but I don't know, seems to me like they both played a version of themselves instead of the characters they were supposed to portray. Depp looks like Depp this time, he has no wig or something, in Public Enemies he looks just like himself and that is a shame, I know Depp could have act much better, people who see this movie will agree: he's just himself, he's not Dillinger. Lawrence Tierney was Dillinger in one of the first movies about the life of JD (Johnny Depp/John Dillinger?) and he did it good, he was a real JD. Christian Bale had got the same problem: he doesn't act at all. in fact, his appearance here reminded me at the part he played in American Psycho. conclusion: Public Enemies isn't that good.
