Public Enemies makes Wisconsin's most recent Hollywood connection. With a solid cast of Johnny Depp and Christian Bale (filmed before the monumental freak-out, heard here), Public Enemies chapters the fearless antics of gangster John Dillinger.
Enemies takes you through his prison escape, his murders, his gunfights, all the way to his inevitable demise. Depp is again proving himself as one of the most versatile actors of today, although admittedly I kept trying to image Captain Jack Sparrow to be cruising around in a Model T while flashing a Tommy Gun. As far as anyone can tell, the film remains historically accurate. It is exciting and intriguing, especially for a Wisconsin native seeing this history play out years before I was even a thought.
Public Enemies is a well directed movie with solid acting. It does approach the verge of being lengthy but the credits will roll before you find yourself begging to see them. Its a good movie with historical value, and enough action to make the 183 minute run-time, time decently spent.
