PUBLIC ENEMIES - Michael Mann (2009)

Adaptation of Bryana Burrough´s book: PUBLIC ENEMIES: AMERICA'S GREATEST CRIME WAVE & THE BIRTH OF THE FBI, is talking about the hardest time of economic depression, and about the world-known gangster Johna Dillingera (Johnny Depp) and his group, part of his group was John "Red" Hamilton (Jason Clarke), Homer Van Meter (Stephen Dorff) a Alvin Karpis (Giovanni Ribisi). We meet them in the year 1993, when John is already known gangster. His robberies are perfectly scheduled and all of them are working like they should. Nobody is injured and Dillinger is very popular for public. He is very charismatic and handsome gentleman who is nice to civilians. He wants only money of the bank not theirs. He is like recent Robin Hood. Federal agent Melvin Purvis (Christian Bale) has to stop Dillinger with any instruments. Dillinger has been arrested few times, but he always escaped or tricked justice. He realizes he cannot escaping forever. His situation is also more complicated when he  felt in love with Billie Frechette (Marion Cotillard). Bank robberies aren´t so gainful, he has less friends, and Purvis wants Dillinger better death than alive. Red-blooded gun battles, high-quality set design and costumes, great dialogues between Depp and Cotillard. Mann depicts the atmospere of the period brilliantly, it reminds me film noir and golden age of Hollywood.
