Capone vs. Dillinger--A gangsterrific review of PUBLIC ENEMIES!!!
--> Hey everyone. Capone in Chicago here. Although the trailers for Michael Mann's latest slice of magnificence emphasize the more action-oriented scenes from his film about the latter days of bank robber and cultural icon John Dillinger, in truth the strength of Public Enemies is not entirely in those moments. There are certainly a handful of bank robberies and moments where law enforcement corner Dillinger and his gang that feature some ferocious gunplay, but it's what happens between the...

How to get a job as Michael Mann's technical advisor: Be good at armed robbery!
When I spent an afternoon talking with Michael Mann about "Public Enemies" last month -- you can see the whole story here -- I asked him, half-jokingly, if he had a technical advisor that helped him with the details of John Dillinger's bank robberies.

I assume that this is exactly how my high school teachers felt about me all those years ago. Public Enemies was good, but it could’ve been so much better. It could’ve graduated with honors, gone to a really nice, private college like USC, walked away from there in four years rather than five. Instead, it settled for being what it was: a better-than-average biopic about a really interesting guy that most everyone already knows about. As a viewer, I couldn’t have been more torn about the ou

Review: Public Enemies
Essentially there are two kinds of gangster movies: those made during the time when men wore hats in real life and those made during the time when men wore hats that came from wardrobe. The first type are usually in black-and-white, punchy, nervy and full of wisecracks. The second type are usually longer and more violent, but slower-paced and nobler of purpose, as if the hats suddenly carried an extra weight, an extra sadness. What Michael Mann has achieved with the new Public Enemies is an...

Johnny Depp explains why his family inspired him in role as Public Enemies gangster
He was inspired by the daredevil exploits of his lawless ancestors while filming his role as the 1930s gangster John Dillinger in the new movie Public Enemies. Since he was a boy, Johnny Depp has been fascinated by the Dillinger legend, partly because he was born in Owensboro, Kentucky, 160 miles from the Indiana farm where Dillinger lived as a teenager.
