Not worth it....

Rating: 5/10 (15 December 2010)

Public enemies was a colossal disappointment with huge star cast and a famous director. The difficult 1930s is a time of robbers who knock over banks and other rich targets with alarming frequency. Of them, none is more notorious than John Dillinger, whose gang plies its trade with cunning efficiency against big businesses while leaving ordinary citizens alone. As Dillinger becomes a folk hero, FBI head J. Edger Hoover is determined to stop his ilk by assigning ace agent Melvin Purvis to hunt down Dillinger. As Purvis struggles with the manhunt's realities, Dillinger himself faces an ominous future with the loss of friends, dwindling options and a changing world of organized crime with no room for him. When I saw the trailer, I was very excited from the promos but was completely disappointed after watching the film. The film was too long and at some point of time was dragging at a snail's pace. Michael Mann direction was extremely poor. The way Depp escapes from the prison was too difficult to digest. It was too lenient. He is not in form this time. Christian Bale did his part well as an FBI agent. Cinematography was awesome along with the art direction and sound effects. So, overall I was not satisfied with the movie at all. If it wouldn't been for Johnny Depp and Christian Bale, I would never see the movie.
