Michael Mann’s trailers always look awesome and his films are enjoyable. Expect blood, explosions, gunfights, car crashes, murder and tits and ass. What else could you possibly desire from a film?
Public Enemies tells the story of John Dillinger with Johnny Depp in the title role and adapted from the book, Public Enemies: America’s Greatest Crime Wave and the Birth of the FBI, 1933–34, by Bryan Burrough. The book goes over Dillinger with a fine-toothed comb, but also covers Bonnie and Clyde, Machine Gun Kelly, Ma Barker and others. Questions always linger about the accuracy of bio-pics like these, and the author, who read the film’s screenplay said, “it’s not 100 percent historically accurate. But it’s by far the closest thing to fact Hollywood has attempted, and for that I am both excited and quietly relieved.”
Public Enemies opened in theaters on July 1st, 2009. Also note that the official site, http://www.publicenemies.net/, is damn cool, offers a wealth of historical data and is very much worth checking out. Enjoy the HD trailer, images, cast and synopsis after the jump.
