Public Enemy #1

Rating: Null/10 (19 February 2012)

Public Enemies is a great movie that brings to screen the story of John Dillinger, who was public enemy #1 during the Great Depression. Johnny Depp is an amazing actor as John Dillinger, and was also made to look quite alike in this film. He is perfect for this role, and as usual, his acting is so real.
This movie shows that John Dillinger wasn't all for robbing banks and escaping prison. It shows that he had love in his life as well, which is shown through the character of Billie, played by Marion Cotillard. The plot in this movie is realistic and quite reflective to John Dillinger's real story.
Public Enemies has action at times, and a lot of shooting. The theme of this movie is similar to that of the movie Bonnie and Clyde, who were two other criminals during the Great Depression. However, having watched both, I find that Public Enemies is much more entertaining and exciting to watch, and the quality of acting in this film surpasses that of Bonnie and Clyde.
Overall, a great movie! Superb job! 8/10
