Public Enemies

Premise: The story of the last months of John Dillinger – from the time he busted out of the Indiana Penitentiary to his death outside of a movie theatre.

Recommend: I’m hesitant to recommend this movie.  The trailer made it look awesome and with the three punch of Depp, Bale and Mann, I thought it would be great.   What is was was long and boring.  Christian Bale wasn’t good at all and I felt no chemistry between Marion Cotillard and Johnny Depp.   It seemed like the movie didn’t know what it wanted to be about – so it focused a little on everything and not enough on anything.  It also needed to be about 1/2 hour shorter.  Depp was good but as I read on another review – it could have been anyone playing that role.  It was good acting for a so-so role.  Too bad.
