Synopsis
Depression-era bank robber John Dillinger's charm and audacity endear him to much of America's downtrodden public, but he's also a thorn in the side of J. Edgar Hoover and the fledgling FBI. Desperate to capture the elusive outlaw, Hoover makes Dillinger his first Public Enemy Number One and assigns his top agent, Melvin Purvis, the task of bringing him in dead or alive.
Community Reviews
Viewers generally appreciate 'Public Enemies' for its engaging action scenes and Johnny Depp's compelling performance as John Dillinger. The film captures the essence of 1930s American gangster life with beautiful cinematography and intense shootouts. While it delivers a solid gangster movie experience, some feel it doesn't bring anything new to the genre and can be a bit lengthy and violent.
👍 Johnny Depp's performance is a standout.
👎 May feel derivative and overly long for some.
