"Public Enemies" is a superstar action-thriller, and incredible true story, about the Feds try to take down notorious American gangsters John Dillinger (Depp) in an attempt to curb a rampant Midwest crime spree during the 1930s. Based on Bryan Burrough's non-fiction book, "Public Enemies: America's Greatest Crime Wave and the Birth of the FBI, 1933–34."Obviously, there is never any guarantee about whether or not a movie will fulfill your expectations, but there are certain movies that, based on the talent involved, just look too good to doubt, and Public Enemies looks like one of those movies.
Humboldt Park native Michael Mann's new film Public Enemies is a grave and beautiful work of art, and has made an impressive film of great formal skill, one that inescapably has a brooding dark-night-of-the-soul quality about it, and one which portrays the life and death of one of the Chicago's most notorious criminals. And you can be sure that thousands of Chicagoans, eager to see their city—or at least bits and pieces of their city—up on the big screen will be packing the theaters. So make yourself comfortable, sit back and allow your mind to travel back to that infamous, warm summer evening in downtown Chicago when events were not quite what they appeared to be.
