After seeing Ong Sor Fern's review of Johnny Depp's new film Public Enemies for the Straits Times, I am thoroughly convinced that it will be a thrilling blockbuster. The well-known-to-be-stingy movie critic awarded the film four out of five stars, which equates to the "astoundingly impressive" level, I might say.
Personally, I had always wanted to watch this show ever since word got out that my two favourite Hollywood leading men Johnny Depp and Christian Bale were going to be in the same movie! (I wouldn't mind costar Channing Tatum as extra eye candy either.)
Public Enemies is a film about a 1930's serial bank robber Dillinger (Depp) who had gained popularity among the media and the people. He was charming, and had no sympathy for the banks that had plunged the country into the Depression. No jail could contain him, and it seemed like no one could stop him either. However, policeman Purvis (Bale), was hot on his trails, determined to capture the public-endearing Dillinger. This is followed by a series of wild chases and shootouts, before Purvis finally managed to lure Dillinger in....or not.
Sounds interesting enough? From the rave reviews about Depp playing the suave Dillinger, with his boyish good looks contrasted with the seriousness and gruffness of Bale as policeman Purvis, I am sure this movie will be a hell of a ride!
