Public Enemies (2009)

Didn't hate it, but there wasn't really much to like about it either.

It just seems so empty...you have no reason to care about any of the characters. The whole relationship between Dillinger and Cotillard's character was devoid of any chemistry, and became utter nonsense as it progressed. The script was poor, and the editing was awful.

Depp did a a decent job, but it was just like a lot of Nicholson or Pacino performances: it was great, but nothing new. We've seen this performance from Depp before...it hasn't really gotten old yet and I was still really entertained by him, but like I said: nothing new.

Bale was pretty sad though...the man should avoid roles that require any specific voice other than his natural accent or just general "American". I'm not sure what exactly he was going for here, but he sure couldn't hang on to it.

I was really let down...a movie about Dillinger could have been a lot better, and with the talent involved here there's no reason it shouldn't have been.
