Public Enemies [Blu-ray]
Universal Studios / 2009 / 140 Minutes / Rated R
Street Date: December 08, 2009
Genres: Drama, Thriller
Starring: Christian Bale, Johnny Depp
Director: Michael Mann
Plot Synopsis:
Public Enemies tells a timeless story of black, white and grey against a historical backdrop eerily similar to the troubled times in which we now live.
Public Enemies, helmed by acclaimed director Michael Mann, tells the story of the nascent FBI and legendary agent Melvin Purvis’ crusade against gangs of bankrobbers terrorizing the country during the Great Depression. Based on a book by Bryan Burroughs, the majority of Public Enemies’ action centers around the cat-and-mouse game between Purvis (Christian Bale) and legendary bankrobber John Dillinger (Johnny Depp).
Dillinger, a charming, charismatic figure had captivated public opinion by his daring raids against banks, made unpopular by the troubles the Great Depression financial crisis had heaped upon ordinary Americans. As Dillinger’s robberies and jail escapes became the stuff of legend, more gangsters join his band and other robbers crop up around the nation.
As the loot hauls and body count climbed, FBI director J. Edgar Hoover (Billy Crudup) decided Dillinger’s capture would be the flash in the pan that would catapult the new agency into national prominence, and assigned the photogenic Purvis to lead the manhunt. The Public Enemies film chronicles Purvis and Dillinger’s duels, featuring exciting chases, gunfights and the eventual betrayal that led to Dillinger’s downfall.
“Public Enemies” depicts how Purvis’ early attempts to catch Dillinger end in tragic failure, and how Purvis eventual adoption of morally gray methods lead to his eventual success, but also how these methods lead to his questioning of his role as a lawman.
