Public Enemy No. 1

For those who haven't seen Public Enemies (2009).....you should. Based on the life and career of notorious bank robber John Dillinger, Michael Mann's adaptation is outstanding. I'm not going to review the film - only wanted to let people know that it will amaze you. The sets, clothing and era weapons and mannerisms are spot on - Mann has really showed us what he is capable of with Public Enemies.

I think that Johnny Depp, as well as Christian Bale and the film itself will have a decent shot at wrapping up some Oscars this March. Marion Cotillard (Billie Frechette) plays Dillinger's girlfriend - shines through with her Academy Award winning ability - and fills the role with perfection. Don't be surprised to hear her name called either!

Here's the trailer ----
