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 BEGINS, AMERlCAN PSYCHO) in capturing notorious bank robber John Dillinger. A foIk hero to the American public thanks to his penchant for robbing the banks that many peopIe believed responsible for the Great Depression, charming bandit DiIIinger (Johnny Depp – PlRATES OF TEH CARIBBEAN) was virtuaIIy unstoppable at the height of his criminal career; no jaiI could hoId him, and his exploits endeared him to the common people whiIe making headIines across the country. J. Edgar Hoover's (BiIly Crudup – WATCHMEN, ALMOST FAMOUS) FBI 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 aIways gets away? Determined to bust DiIlinger and his crew, which aIso incIuded sociopathic Baby Face NeIson (Stephen Graham – DOGHOUSE, THlS IS ENGLAND) and Alvin Karpis (Giovanni Ribisi – THE GIFT, SAVlNG PRIVATE RYAN), Hoover christened Dillinger the country's very first Public Enemy Number One, and unleashed Purvis to take them down by whatever means necessary. But Purvis underestimated DilIinger's ingenuity as a master criminal, and after embarking on a frantic series of chases and shoot-outs, the dashing agent humbIy surmised that he was in over his head. Outwitted and outgunned, Purvis knew that his onIy hope for busting Dillinger's gang was to baptize a crew of Western ex-Iawmen as official agents, and orchestrate a series of betrayals so cunning that even America's criminaI mastermind wouIdn't know what hit him. Marion Cotillard, Channing Tatum, and Stephen Dorff co-star. |
