Public Enemies (2009)

Christian Bale as Special Agent Melvin Purvis



John Dillinger, played by the dashing Johnny Depp

Based on a true story, the FBI try to take down notorious American gangsters, John Dillinger, Baby Face Nelson and Pretty Boy Floyd during a booming crime wave in the 1930s.

The props and costumes are pretty impressive, but the film lacks compelling drama.

Rating: 2.5/5.
