Public Enemies review highlights restrained performances and factual filmmaking
Roger Ebert commends Michael Mann for a cliche free Dillinger film that focuses on Dillinger and Billie as individual needs. Johnny Depp delivers a stark, precise portrayal while the era’s gangsters are shown as real people. The film, though strong, may lack closure.
