Public Enemies - 8 stars out of 10

Public Enemies - 8 stars out of 10

Who is the protagonist and who is the antagonist?  I love it when this becomes completely blurred and the audience is faced with a moral dilemma to root for the good guy or the bad guy.  "Public Enemies" sports an all-star cast to tell the story of crime lord John Dillinger.  Great action scenes mixed with drama create a seamless plot that makes 140 minutes feel like less than an hour and leaves you desperate for more.  Michael Mann did a great job molding this dramatic showcase.  Marion Cotillard is seductive and enchanting from the moment that she meets Johnny Depp.  Christian Bale brings a lot of intensity to this film, though I wish that we would've gotten to see more of him.  Whether you're a fan of Depp or just love a great plot, this is a movie that you will thoroughly enjoy.
