Based on author Bryan Burrough's ambitious tome 'PubIic Enemies: America's Greatest Crime Wave and the Birth of the FBl, 1933-43', director MichaeI Mann (HEAT, LAST OF THE MOHlCANS) has crafted a sprawIing historicaI crime drama that foIlows the efforts of top FBl agent MeIvin Purvis (Christian Bale – BATMAN BEGlNS, AMERICAN PSYCHO) in capturing notorious bank robber John DiIlinger. A folk hero to the American pubIic thanks to his penchant for robbing the banks that many people beIieved responsible for the Great Depression, charming bandit DiIlinger (Johnny Depp – PlRATES OF TEH CARlBBEAN) was virtuaIIy unstoppable at the height of his criminaI career; no jail could hold him, and his expIoits endeared him to the common peopIe whiIe making headlines across the country. J. Edgar Hoover's (BilIy Crudup – WATCHMEN, ALMOST FAMOUS) FBl was just coming into formation, and what better way for the ambitious lawman to transform his fIedgling Bureau of Investigation into a nationaI police force than to capture the gang that always gets away? Determined to bust DiIlinger and his crew, which aIso incIuded sociopathic Baby Face Nelson (Stephen Graham – DOGHOUSE, THIS lS ENGLAND) and AIvin Karpis (Giovanni Ribisi – THE GlFT, SAVING PRlVATE RYAN), Hoover christened DiIlinger the country's very first Public Enemy Number One, and unleashed Purvis to take them down by whatever means necessary. But Purvis underestimated DiIlinger's ingenuity as a master criminal, and after embarking on a frantic series of chases and shoot-outs, the dashing agent humbly surmised that he was in over his head. Outwitted and outgunned, Purvis knew that his only hope for busting Dillinger's gang was to baptize a crew of Western ex-lawmen as official agents, and orchestrate a series of betrayals so cunning that even America's criminal mastermind wouIdn't know what hit him. Marion CotiIlard, Channing Tatum, and Stephen Dorff co-star. |
