Did this movie tank or something? I have not heard word one about it since it was released, and the only reason I know it is out is because I saw it was 4th ranked film this week.
So what gives? Is it bad, or did it just get released at a bad time? I personally think that Johnny Depp is a horrible actor and is as overrated as they come so I wasn't in a big rush to see it anyway.

I want to see this film just to see what is inaccurate about it. Ive seen the documentary "18 Months" several times,so I should be able to spot anything that was added just to make the movie more exciting. I agree that Depp is a horrible actor,I hate that wide eyed,gay looking expression he does every other second in every movie he does. I understand why women find him so attractive,he's a good looking guy but why in the hell does everyone think he is so cool? I personally think he's a weirdo who chooses certain roles to hide the fact that he's really a bad actor. Now Clooney is cool,Pitt is cool,Depp is a old man trying to be an emo/goth type.

It was OKAY. It wasnt bad, or un-enjoyable or anything, but it wasn't anything special.
The wife dragged me to the midnight screening (yeah, I know), and it was LONG. It was not very well paced either, but it was interesting. The acting was fine, nothing special, but not terrible. Everyone hit their marks. The worst part about it to me was the bad pacing, it could really using some better editing and maybe a directors cut or something down the road will make this a better film.

Speaking of Director's Cuts, you need to cut back on the RoC figures, cut off that lousy stowage, and get that 113 the proper stuff it deserves. ;) |

anyone who thinks Johnny Depp is overrated as an actor needs to watch Donnie Brasco...
i think Public Enemies just got steamrolled a bit by the summer blockbusters, it was probably more of a 'November' movie ~ i really want to see it though. Depp + Bale + Mann = win. (it also didn't get great reviews, i saw a lot of "good but not great" comments)

Public Enemies is not good.
I am finally glad to see there are some people that don't think Depp is the greatest actor. Johnny Depp plays the same guy in every movie he's in with minor tweaks. Johnny Depp plays Johnny Depp with gangster clothes on. Bale is only so-so, and the movie is boring as hell. I used to really like Michael Mann, Manhunter was great, but after turds like Miami Vice (movie) and Ali......and now this one, I can't take it anymore. I'd rather watch a Brett Ratner $#itfest movie that see another Mann directed movie, especially one with Johnny Depp in it.

He was due for a flop anyway. Truth be told, I hated him back in the day. He is okay now and I feel he left his mark on cinema with the Pirate movies. He is in the same camp as Keanu Reves (spelling?) I hated that guy and after a few good films, he grew on me.

I saw it 2 weekends ago and I have to say I actually enjoyed the movie. Before I give my review, I will say that I normally like Mann's movies (minus Ali and Miami Vice) and I also happen to love the prohibition/depression era of our country (1920's-1930's).
I am in a lazy mood right now so I don't feel like writing a review. But I give the movie a somewhat biased 8 out of 10. I could see how most would only give this a 6 or a 7, though. I don't understand why all the hate for Depp, though. The guy was great in Donnie Brasco (as somebody already mentioned). I always appreciate actors that study the role they are playing, really try to get into their roles and try to become that character. And he is definitely one of those actors.
