Public Enemies (2009)

Director: Michael Mann
Starring: Johnny Depp, Christian Bale, Marion Cotillard, Steven Lang
Certificate: 15
Genre: Crime, action
Awards: None

Public Enemies is the biography of John Dillinger (Depp) the bank robber of the 1930's. After Dillinger has become public enemy number one, the FBI agent Melvin Purvis (Bale) is set on catching him, so he sets up the best team he can find including Charles Winstead (Lang). Meanwhile Dillinger meets Billy Frechette (Cotillard) and falls in love.

Public Enemies has some good moments but the characters seem to be a bit one dimensional. The film does not go into detail about any of the characters an instead focuses on what happened.
