Public Enemies Movie Trailer

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.

Synopsis from the official site:

In the action-drama Public Enemies, acclaimed filmmaker Micahel Mann directs Johnny Depp, Christian Bale, and Academy Award winner Marion Cotillard in the story of legendary Depression-era outlaw John Dillinger (Depp) – the charismatic bank robber whose lightning raids made him the number one target of J. Edgar Hoover’s fledgling FBI and its top agent, Melvin Purvis (Bale), and a folk hero to a nation besieged by financial hardship and ready to celebrate a mythic figure.

No one could stop Dillinger and his gang. No jail could hold him. His charm and audacious jailbreaks endeared him to almost everyone-from his girlfriend Billie Frechette (Cotillard) to an American public who had no sympathy for the banks that had plunged the country into the Depression.

But while the adventures of Dillinger’s gang-later including the sociopathic Baby Face Nelson (Stephen Graham) and Alvin Karpis (Giovanni Ribsi)-thrilled many, Hoover (Billy Crudup) hit on the idea of exploiting the outlaw’s capture as a way elevate his Bureau of Investigation into the national police force that became the FBI. He made Dillinger America’s first Public Enemy Number One and sent in Purvis, the dashing “Clark Gable of the FBI.”

However, Dillinger and his gang outwitted and outgunned Purvis’ men in wild chases and shootouts. Only after importing a crew of lawmen from the Dallas bureau and orchestrating epic betrayals-from the infamous “Lady in Red” to the Chicago crime boss Frank Nitti-were Purvis, the FBI and their new crew of gunfighters able to close in on Dillinger.
