Public Enemy - Johnny Depp

First there was Michael (in Smooth Criminal), then there was Johnny Depp (Public Enemies).
Men in hats are just so sexy.

Just watched Public Enemies by Johnny Depp. It takes some time to get use to seeing Johnny Depp as a normal person and not the quirky Willy Wonka or Captain Sparrow. Nevertheless, it was thoroughly enjoyable. JD was utterly charming. UTTERLY.

This movie was based on real story, a famous bank robber John Dillinger in 1930's. Quote from Wiki : "He was a dangerous criminal, who was responsible for the murder of several police officers, robbed at least two dozen banks and four police stations, and escaped from jail twice, but some people idolized him as a modern-day Robin Hood. He was nicknamed "the Jackrabbit" for his graceful movements during heists, such as leaping over counters and his many narrow getaways from police."

WOW. People idolized him, and "graceful movements during heists, such as leaping over counters.." Sounds pretty cool, eh? Really sounds like some kind of heroes or legendary character typical in movies. And 2 dozen banks... Gosh... He was good.


The movie sort of "beautified" the John Dillinger. On the other hand, the FBI looked stupid. And by the way, Johnny Depp, John Dillinger, same initial - JD. hahaha...

The real John Dillinger, looks quite charming to me too. Thou he had a more evil feeling in his eyes. But he must be really charming to the ladies in real life.

I give the movie 4.5 stars. The 0.5 deduction was because many scenes were shot at extreme close up. Actually it was nice.. but.. I felt like to move backwards a little because the close ups were really too overwhelming. But it was a great movie, love Johnny !

See this pic, Johnny Depp's image of John Dillinger is quite right on. I give it 10/10 points~
