Public Enemies

Niemand kon Dillinger (Johnny Depp) en zijn bende stuiten. Geen gevangenis was 'Dillinger proof’. Zijn ontwapenende charme en zijn gedurfde ontsnappingen maakten hem geliefd bij vrijwel iedereen.

Van zijn vriendin Billie Frechette (Marion Cotillard) tot de gewone Amerikaanse burgers die een hekel hadden aan de banken die hen tot de nek toe in een recessie gebracht hadden. De avonturen van Dillingers bende, met de psychopaat Baby Face Nelson (Stephen Graham) en Alvin Karpis (Giovanni Ribisi), werden door veel mensen gevolgd.

Public Enemies Blu-Ray

Please note this is a region B Blu-ray and will require a region B or region free Blu-ray player in order to play.Since crime auteur Michael Mann, like his protagonists, plays by his own rules, Public Enemies eschews back story and motivation for a closely-observed, action-packed examination of men at work. FBI supremo J. Edgar Hoover (Billy Crudup) kick-starts a nationwide manhunt when he proclaims John Dillinger (Johnny Depp) Public Enemy #1. Hoover taps Agent Melvin Purvis (Christian Bale) to bring the Tommy Gun-toting bank robber in by any means necessary (the agency also targets Pretty Boy Floyd and Baby Face Nelson). If Dillinger had split the scene then and there, he might have enjoyed a happier fate, but he falls for beautiful coat-check girl Billie Frechette (Marion Cotillard, whose open-hearted performance makes her the most sympathetic character in the film). In the end, though, Dillinger is the captain of his own destiny: his loyalty to his girl and his gang overpowers his desire to live free. Though the director also set his first film, Thief, and third series, Crime Story, in his native Chicago, Public Enemies plays more like Heat in Depression-era garb. In that L.A. policier, Al Pacino's cop develops a grudging respect for Robert De Niro's criminal, but letting a lawbreaker go free isn't an option. In this case, however, the tight-lipped Purvis never develops the same sort of esteem for Dillinger--or Hoover--making him the more tragic figure. If Public Enemies is less overtly commercial than The Untouchables or Bugsy, it's still the best mainstream gangster epic in ages and ranks among Mann's finest works.Special Features:Larger Than Life AdversariesMichael Mann - Making Public Enemiesr> Last Of The Legendary OutlawsOn Dillinger's Trail - The Real LocationsCriminal TechnologyRegion freeActors    Johnny Depp, Christian Bale, Channing Tatum, Billy Crudup, Leelee Sobieski, Giovanni Ribisi, David Wenham, Emilie de Ravin, Marion Cotillard, Stephen Dorff, Rory Cochrane, Lili Taylor, Geoffrey Cantor, Stephen Lang & Stephen GrahamDirector    Michael MannCertificate    15 years and overYear    2009Screen    Widescreen 2.40:1Languages    English - DTS-HD Master Audio (5.1)Additional Languages    Latin American Spanish ; French CanadianSubtitles    English for the hearing impaired ; Latin American Spanish ; French CanadianDuration    2 hours and 20 minutes (approx)
