PUBLIC ENEMIES (2009) - ♦♦

Directed by - Michael Mann

Written by - Ronan Bennett, Michael Mann, Ann Biderman

Starring - Johnny Depp, Marion Cotillard

"Michael Mann seeks to consecrate digital filmmaking to a genre that is associated with the golden celluloid age of Hollywood – the classic gangster film. Here, he tells the story of legenadary criminal John Dillinger, played by Johnny Depp. The result is ambitious yet rather awkward. The story itself is rather cold and a little contorted. Public Enemies ends up being a rather disappointing mess that almost taints the filmography of a notoriously precise director."
