Public Enemies (2009)

Rating: 8/10 (20 November 2014)

I am not a specialist concerning movies and my review will not be a true criticism. I just want to give my opinion about this movie.
What I really liked in "Public Enemies" was the alternating between action sequences, romantic ones and the moments of complicity between friends. It is very pleasant for the spectator who is at the same time touched by these scenes but at the same time under pressure because of the action. Nevertheless, I would have liked to know a little bit more about the context of the story, and more precisely about the characters. In my opinion, the characters' personalities are not sufficiently exploited. For example, I would have appreciated to learn more about John Dillinger's past, his childhood, his psychology but especially what gave him the "desire" to become a bank robber...
Thank you for reading.
