Film Review: Public Enemies
The film follows Melvin Purvis' pursuit of notorious criminals (John Dillinger, Homer Van Meter, Baby Face Nelson and Pretty Boy Floyd) during the Great Depression in America. The good thing about the movie is that it doesn't glorify crime and the criminals committing it. It's told as, I suppose, how it happened during those times, using the language of cinema. I like the photography for it captured the right moods. Art direction is superb, and the cast delivered believable performances (special mention to Johnny Depp as Dillinger and Christian Bale asPurvis).
Rating: 3.5/4.0
