Production sound

Rating: 3/10 (11 April 2010)

For a high profile movie and an army of sound editors, the production sound track of Public Enemies is horrible. Sorry Michael but your film is definitely a great film but the video look and the bad sound make it fall in the TV category. People will definitely enjoy the details and efforts that was put in the actual locations, props, weapons and costumes but the noisy production track and the very noticeable ADR really kills the flow. Maybe it is time to listen to the production sound being recording on the set more carefully. A film is not just about the visual, script, props or actors... George Lucas said it in a simple phrase: Sound is 50% of a movie.
