Public Enemies
★★★★★★☆☆☆☆ (6/10)


Just my 2cents: When it comes to gangstaer flicks the character development and atmosphere takes a big role in determining whether the 2 hours in the theater is worthwhile or a just a big waste of 1/12th of your valuable day. Not all popping and herd clashes.

This film didn't really catch my attention. There hasn't been a decent gangster film these years and Public Enemies wasn't really cutting it.

Johnny Depp is a different story.

The only reason people in HK purchased tickets to this movie was probably because of Johnny Depp and I'm one of them. The story was pretty appealing when you actually go through it but the directing was kinda slow. Props to the sound production though the gun shooting scenes were pretty good and the gun fires echo beside your ears. BGM is cutoff during these scenes to express realism and every detail of the bullets could be heard. If they shot 100 bullets 300 sound waves prolly bounced through your ears with each bullet popping off through someone or something. Not as many bank robberies as expected but, how many different ways can you film a bank robbery back in the 30's?

A really "real" film with Johnny Depp as an extra bonus. Can prolly go check him out coz he prolly won't be doing these kinda flicks in a while coz Tim Burton really likes him.
