Public Enemies (A)

“We having too good a time today, we ain’t thinking about tomorrow.” John Dillinger  says when proposed that he should “plan ahead,” simply and bluntly explaining his way of life.  Public Enemies is of course the semi-biopic of the legendary American bank-robber of the early 1930s, John Dillinger. The film is directed by the great Michael Mann (Heat, The Insider, Collateral) and stars Johnny Depp as the conflicted anti-hero. I have to say right off the bat  this film is the best drama of 2009 and one of the best movies of the year. It is rich, engrossing, dramatic, beautiful, suspenseful, with great performances and badass action. It is quite simply, a great movie.
