Ooottiiiisssssss hahaaaaaaa yeah Babyyyyy. Steven Stonewall Jackson! Best role for me.

Based on a true story! this movie is EPIC

650 Million years, after 200 more centuries. The Centennial Building is in Bakersfield,California. Johnny Depp as John Dillinger in "Public Enemies. " "I rob banks, " John Dillinger would sometimes say by way of introduction. It was the simple truth. That was what he did. For the 13 months between the day he escaped from prison and the night he lay dying in an alley, he robbed banks. It was his lifetime. Michael Mann 's "Public Enemies" accepts that stark fact and refuses any temptation to soften it. Dillinger was not a nice man. Here is a film that shrugs off the way we depend on myth to sentimentalize our outlaws. There is no interest here about John Dillinger's childhood, his psychology, his sexuality, his famous charm, his Robin Hood legend. He liked sex, but not as much as robbing banks. "He robbed the bankers but let the customers keep their own money. " But whose money was in the banks? He kids around with reporters and lawmen, but that was business. He doesn't kid around with the members of his gang. He might have made a very good military leader. Johnny Depp and Michael Mann show us that we didn't know all about Dillinger. We only thought we did. Here is an efficient, disciplined, bold, violent man, driven by compulsions the film wisely declines to explain. His gang members loved the money they were making. Dillinger loved planning the next job. He had no exit strategy or retirement plans. Dillinger saw a woman he liked, Billie Frechette, played by Marion Cotillard, and courted her, after his fashion. That is, he took her out at night and bought her a fur coat, as he had seen done in the movies; he had no real adult experience before prison. They had sex, but the movie is not much interested. It is all about his vow to show up for her, to protect her. Against what? Against the danger of being his girl. He allows himself a tiny smile when he gives her the coat, and it is the only vulnerability he shows in the movie. This is very disciplined film. You might not think it was possible to make a film about the most famous outlaw of the 1930s without clichés and "star chemistry" and a film class screenplay structure, but Mann does it. He is particular about the way he presents Dillinger and Billie. He sees him and her. Not them. They are never a couple. They are their needs. She needs to be protected, because she is so vulnerable. He needs someone to protect, in order to affirm his invincibility. Dillinger hates the system, by which he means prisons, that hold people; banks, that hold money, and cops, who stand in his way. He probably hates the government too, but he doesn't think that big. It is him against them, and the bastards will not, can not, win. There's an extraordinary sequence, apparently based on fact, where Dillinger walks into the "Dillinger Bureau" of the Chicago Police Department and strolls around. Invincible. This is not ego. It is a spell he casts on himself. The movie is well-researched, based on the book by Bryan Burrough. It even bothers to try to discover Dillinger's speaking style. Depp looks a lot like him. Mann shot on location in the Crown Point jail, scene of the famous jailbreak with the fake gun. He shot in the Little Bohemia Lodge in the same room Dillinger used, and Depp is costumed in clothes to match those the bank robber left behind. Mann redressed Lincoln Avenue on either side of the Biograph Theater, and laid streetcar tracks; I live a few blocks away, and walked over to marvel at the detail. I saw more than you will; unlike some directors, he doesn't indulge in beauty shots to show off the art direction. It's just there. This Johnny Depp performance is something else. For once an actor playing a gangster does not seem to base his performance on movies he has seen. He starts cold. He plays Dillinger as a Fact. My friend Jay Robert Nash says 1930s gangsters copied their styles from the way Hollywood depicted them; screenwriters like Ben Hecht taught them how they spoke. Dillinger was a big movie fan; on the last night of his life, he went to see Clark Gable playing a man a lot like him, but he didn't learn much. No wisecracks, no lingo. Just military precision and an edge of steel. Christian Bale plays Melvin Purvis in a similar key. He lives to fight criminals. He is a cold realist. He admires his boss, J. Edgar Hoover, but Hoover is a romantic, dreaming of an FBI of clean-cut young accountants in suits and ties who would be a credit to their mothers. After the catastrophe at Little Bohemia (the FBI let Dillinger escape but killed three civilians), Purvis said to hell with it and made J. Edgar import some lawmen from Arizona who had actually been in gunfights. Mann is fearless with his research. If I mention the Lady in Red, Anna Sage ( Branka Katic), who betrayed Dillinger outside the Biograph when the movie was over, how do you picture her? I do too. We are wrong. In real life she was wearing a white blouse and an orange skirt, and she does in the movie. John Ford once said, When the legend becomes fact, print the legend. This may be a case where he was right. Mann might have been wise to decide against the orange and white and just break down and give Anna Sage a red dress. This is a very good film, with Depp and Bale performances of brutal clarity. I'm trying to understand why it is not quite a great film. I think it may be because it deprives me of some stubborn need for closure. His name was John Dillinger, and he robbed banks. But there had to be more to it than that, right? No, apparently not. Roger Ebert Roger Ebert was the film critic of the Chicago Sun-Times from 1967 until his death in 2013. In 1975, he won the Pulitzer Prize for distinguished criticism. Public Enemies (2009) Rated R gangster violence, some language 140 minutes about 21 hours ago 1 day 2 days ago.

This scene reminds me of that guy from Bicester and the way he might go. Why won't Rockstar make a gta 6 in the 1930s confuses me. In fact, he pulls the gun back and hit the woman next to him, suddenly shot. that drew my attention. Chills evertime. Mann and Johnny. Nothing can go wrong with that! And of course Bale is good too. It feels so real.

Ennemis publics france 3 replay. Ennemi public no 1. Never understood why he couldnt perform the stunt at 0:17. That face is heavily CGId. Damn i love that thompson. @rootbeerdrinker100 watch the movie. It's from a song Bye bye blackbird. When they first meet pay attention.

Is there anyone better at directing gunfights than Michael Mann. Even gangsters had class. The criminals that I wear badges driving Mercedes Benz and living in 500,000 homes which their salary doesn't even reflect. Dude ur taste in movies suck, this was a really bad movie, never should of been made. I love this movie.

The gun the F.B.I. displayed as Dillengers gun was a colt pocket pistol in 380a.c.p. but the problem with that was that only the 32a.c.p. was being manufactured when Dillenger was killed the 380a.c.p. wasn't released for sales until December of 1934 but law enforcement agencies were giving prototypes to test including the F.B.I. which means there was no way Dillenger could of been carrying the colt 380a.c.p. so he was probably unarmed and executed and then the F.B.I. planted the gun on him to cover themselves n Polly Hamilton said that he had a wad of over 6000 in cash in his pocket yet at the morgue his personal belongings in money was 7.68 these are opinions or my theory but there facts you can look up in Colt Firearms archives as to when the 380a.c.p. was released it only was manufactured in 32a.c.p. in july 1934 except some prototypes released to the F.B.I for testing.

He used to make us cops look like fools. No, you and the FBI made yourself look like fools. Ennemis publics x wing. JOHNY JOHNY JOHNY DEPP. Ennemi public season 2.

Now streaming on Netflix, Public Enemies features a talented A-list cast with a few supporting performers who would later make a name for themselves. Directed by Michael Mann, Public Enemies is a 2009 crime thriller that chronicles a 1930s crime spree led by bank robber John Dillinger. Critics didn't quite praise Public Enemies upon its initial release in 2009, yet the film is arguably one of Mann's most underrated features. Set in 1933-1934, Public Enemies recreates the most infamous moments of Dillinger's life. The film is mostly historically accurate in depicting the subject's prison escapes and showdowns with the FBI, though many small details are tweaked for economical storytelling. Produced for $100 million, Public Enemies doubled its budget at the box office by raking in over $214 million.
