No wonder the overproduction Public Enemies, from director Michael Mann (Heat), about John Dillinger, one of the most famous bank robbers in history, has been a semi failure because the love story between the robber and his girlfriend is nowhere to be found. It is less credible than the tale of Little Red Riding Hood and the Wolf.
In addition, the interpretations of the main characters, Johnny Depp as John Dillinger and Christian Bale as the agent of the newly created FBI whose sole objective is to catch, alive or dead, the most wanted criminal in America of that time are really weak, above all, Bale's.
El Public Enemies script there is no way to catch it and it could be summed up in an unlikely love story between the bank robber and a humble girl, the dog and cat game between the thief and the FBI agent and the icon that the robber became in those years, where he was seen almost like a hero when robbing banks but not the money of the clients that were in them.
In short, do not waste the 140 minutes that the film lasts in watching it because you will be able to see another film better than this one even on the Antena3 desktop.
