Public Enemies Review

I'm a huge fan of Johnny Depp. So naturally a few months back when I saw trailers for Public Enemies I knew I was going regardless of how awesome the trailers were...might I say the trailers were good.

Getting into the first movie was a little difficult for me. There were short scenes jumping around from place to place from person to person. The action was good and Johnny Depp as cute as ever. But two hours! It looked like the same bank everytime just different people. And before you could ever identify with a character that wasn't Dillinger, Agent Pervis or Dillinger's girlfriend Billie before they died.

I appreciate the movie for its timing. I mean how perfect. A story about robbing banks in the depression and how much it relates to the times today. It makes a statement and I guess honors a good man who just saw what was wrong with the world and who controls it. Just as a movie goes it was only ok. I really wanted this to be absolutely outstanding but unfortunately there was nothing in it that really stood out other than a few good Dillinger lines.

I wouldn't say don't see it but don't get your hopes up as much as I had.
