Cotillard
Directed by Michael Mann

John Dillinger was something of a 20th century Robin Hood. What separates him from
the infamous 21st century crook, Bernie Madoff, is the romanticized ...

Public Enemies Review
atomicpopcorn.net 7/1/2009 —
It’s no secret that I think Michael Mann is the greatest director of all-time, dead or otherwise. One can throw all the Scorsese, Kurosawa, Ford, or Spielberg they want and I’ll still conclude that Mann is better than all of them. His style is unparalleled and has influenced my ...

“ I like baseball, movies, good clothes, fast cars and you. What else do you need to know? ”

Before talking about what Public Enemies is, it’d be good to put on the table everything it isn’t. First of all, it isn’t a conscious genre exercise. While Public Enemies retains a classical narrative framework familiar to the gangster film—switching back-and-forth between parallel stories ...

THE DARK OF THE MATINEE
I have to imagine that watching PUBLIC ENEMIES is a lot like watching Walter Johnson pitch late in his career. See, The Big Train used to galumph his way up to the mound, and almost comically work into a slow, leisurely wind-up. He’d then unload on the batter with pitches that reached ungodly ...

Filmdrunk
I wanted to like this movie, I really did. Seemed like a good hook - solid ensemble cast and veteran director do a movie about 30s bank robbers ostensibly aimed at adults. Okay, sailor, I’ll come to your table. Buy me a drink and let’s see where it leads.
Johnny Depp plays ...

It's no secret how the life of John Dillinger came to an end; so when Michael Mann begins his telling of the Dillinger story in 1933 only allowing for just over a year's worth of story to be told he isn't ...

John Dillinger and Johnny Depp
Roger Ebert gives Public Enemies 3.5 stars , though it reads like a 4-star review right up to very last paragraph.
