"Public Enemies"
« on: December 09, 2009, 10:59:15 AM »
It is out on DVD today, and Melanie just got back from shopping and picked up a copy. Has anyone seen it? I'm not big Johnny Depp fan, but I heard he was excellent as Dillinger, and the shooting sequences were well filmed. We'll watch it this afternoon, and I'll report back. For anyone interested, only $15.00 at Wal-Mart  Bill T.

Actually, Depp is a pretty good actor, he's funny in "Pirates of the Caribbean" aqnd very unfunny in "The Departed".

Depp was in "The Departed"?  I thought that was DeCaprio, Mark Walberg, Nicholson and Matt Damon?

I don't remember him in that movie and I only watched it the first time last year!

Had him confused with DiCaprio, watch "The Departed" then watch, "Blood Diamond" you will not believe its the same guy.

We just watched it. I would give it an OK. It opens great, then slides a little. It was factual. They showed the shootout in Little Bohemia, his capture in Tuscon, and subsequent escape from the Crown Point, Indiana jail with the wooden gun, along with the capture of Billie Frechette with him watching across the street, and the now famous ending at the Biograph Theatre in Chicago. The shootouts were all well done, but a little too much muzzle flash. Overall I'd give it a 7 out of 10. For some reason the sound was difficult to hear. I had to keep throttling the volume up and down to hear some of the dialogue. It sounded a bit muffled for some reason.  Bill T.
