Public Enemies (2009) Reviews

FACTUALLY INACCURATE. Pretty Boy Floyd was NOT shot by Purvis. He was shot by Retired Officer Chester K. Smith of East Liverpoool Ohio PD on... r 22, 1934. Floyd only had 2 .45s, not a machine gun. Smith did alleged that Purvis did order the murder Floyd after Floyd after hew tried to get some questions about theh Kansas City Massacre, but Purvis denied this. Baby Face Nelson was killed long after Dillinger, not as he was escaping the Little Bohemia firefight, which offurred April, 1934. His wife dumped his body naked and in a blanket, on 11/27/1934 after a gunfight with 2 agents whyo he did iioll. She was hoping he could not be indentified and she was cencerned that he might get cold. Van Meter was killed in a shootout with St. Paul Minn 08/23/1934 Police long after Little Bohemia. Dillinger died 07/22/1934. The show as entertaining with the gungfights, but the deaths oif the main characters was totally inaccurate. Full Review

good thing i rented it

what a disappointment...this movie was terrible. shot in our home state, Wisconsin, this film was 'let's walk out" within 10 minutes. I love... ohnny Depp...but this film did nothing to add to his resume. Full Review

Wow what a DUD! This was one of the most anticipated movies that was an absolute mess! Horrible editing, emotionless characters that have no... ter development. I spent a buck and a quarter at the cheap movie place and still did not get my moneys worth. DO NOT Waste YOUR TIME! Full Review

The performances by both Christian Bale, and Johnny Depp are amazing. But as far as a movie goes... I would have to say this is the worst movie I... e seen (much less paid to see) in a very long time. I could not have been more disappointed with this film. And with such a great cast, an enormous budget, and an unbeatable true story for the plot, one would think this move to have the makings of a classic. But it is trash. I very seriously considered walking out of the theater after 20 minutes. And never before have checked my watch so many times during a film. So do not waste your time. Full Review
