Johnny Depp seems to always give 100% to the portrayal of his characters. This was a brilliant film. The acting, action sequences and attention to detail made it such a spectacular watch in my opinion. I remember watching it for the first time, it blew me away.
Some people think this movie was boring, damn they're so wrong! I was seven years old when I saw this one for the first time, and I loved it. I have watched Public Enemies more than 10 times now...Johnny is amazing, as always ♥
7:25 - when I saw this movie in the theatre here in Australia, the sound quality was incredible. When Winstead fired that 10 gauge at Dillinger, the whole crowd jumped in their seats from the sound of the boom. Very impressive scene.
I love this movie. I've watched it at least 25 times. Never tire of it. I was raised on gangster movies. Back in the 50's they wer big. N johnny Depp did such a great job! I just can't stop watching it. I wish he'd make another old time gangster movie.
@@lbertlopez83 I never saw it. But I'm trying 2 get it. It seems Johnny's movies r getting harder 2 find. LoL i usually don't go 2 the show, we like buying the movies, cuz we watch them over n over again! LoL cheaper than cable, also, which is a ripoff.
I love the cars of that era ...they are such beautiful masterpieces . Even guns look amazing (especially when he has dismantled it). although I loathe them
Vasiliki Razakia I mean, practically anything can be used to kill someone. I could strangle someone or beat them to death with just my bare hands. Guns are just tools like anything else.
@@airmobiledivision7759 but designed completely for that purpose..of course anything can be dangerous. It is just outrageous that people made up devices to kill other people.but of course that is another topic
Vasiliki Razakia A gun can be used for many things. I own several, and have yet to murder anyone. The fact that they were sold at department stores for many years reinforces the whole tool idea. Any-who, you’re certainly entitled to your opinion, no matter how much I may disagree with it. Have a good one!
I watched Public Enemies over and over!!!! You can't get any better with Johnny Depp and Christian Bale, Hot DAMN!!!! Also great to see James Russo reunited with Johnny Depp! (Both started in Donnie Brasco!) Shame his character didn't get enough screen time! If you ain't familiar with James Russo, he was in Beveerly Hills Cop 1 and Fast Times At Ridgemont High!!!!
Based on a great, gripping book, "Public Enemies: The War on Crime, 1933-34". Purvis comes off as an incompetent dilettante who got lucky just once, and was rightfully sidelined by Hoover when the War got serious. However, Hoover also actively prevented Purvis from re-emerging into the public eye even decades later, and from doing anything important in law enforcement or authorship -- to the point that Purvis -- a sociable, easygoing Southern gentleman type from beginning to end -- took his own life (with an inscribed pistol his own men had given him).
Criminals still have this technological edge: for example organized modern day narcotic traffickers often operate efficiently in clandestine ways. The criminal element hasn’t diminished but has evolved. The ratio of federal funding of law enforcement to drug cartel budgets remains grossly out of proportion.
Criminals have a much, much, much easier job. If I had to take five kilos of cocaine to another apartment across the city, without me being a known drug mule, I'd have a near 100% chance of succeeding. That's just one example, but it almost always works like that. As long as you're not a total fucking idiot, you have a very high chance of success.
This movie focuses on Dillinger as an archetype for the rest of the 7-8 Public Enemies named by Hoover, but the most fascinating characters to me are Lester Gillis (AKA "Baby Face" George Nelson) and Alvin Karpis (Karpowicz). Nelson was a consistently aggressive, borderline psychotic who loved violence and was obsessed with guns. He once used a specially-prepared car for a bank job that was unobtrusively armored and could lay down a thick smoke screen (!). Unfort the increased weight of the vehicle made it clumsy to handle, and he had to abandon it after wrecking it shortly into the getaway. Nelson loved shooting the Thompson, and did so every chance he got. He'd blow out the big plate-glass windows of almost every bank he hit, and shred the fine plaster of their ceilings and their decorative walnut panels (whether there was a tactical reason to shoot the place up or not). He enjoyed intimidating hostages and manhandling them as human shields. He was once hit in the chest by a pistol round fired by a freelancing clothing store owner who emerged from his shop a couple of doors down and took potshots at the gang of bank robbers Nelson was part of; Nelson was standing outside the bank entrance watching the street, as he'd been assigned to do. A bullet proof vest prevented him from suffering more than a bruise and a knock-back; by the time he returned fire with his Thompson the citizen had ducked back inside his shop, out of reach. Nelson later told an associate while they were splitting-up the loot, "One day soon we're gonna go back there and get that little Jew." Nelson was probably the toughest of the Public Enemies physically, rivaled only by the dumb but rock-hard "urban hillbilly", Dock Barker, who withstood John McCain-level abusive interrogation by the FBI. Dillinger was the most handsome and charismatic Public Enemy, Karpis the most wily, insightful, and most successful (longest active career). Finally, Karpis was the longest-lived of them -- after a 40-year stretch in Alcatraz, he died in 1979 in exile in a Spanish resort town.
Yeah. Might've been the most successful but 40 years in Alcatraz back then must've been hell on earth. I would rather be shot than endure 40 years of that.
So let me get this right Ike Clanton shot John Dillinger Stephen Lang hell of an actor the whole cast in this movie Johnny Depp all the way down did a hell of a job
I like the respect between Winstead and Dillinger. He doesn't tell anyone that was after Dillinger what he said as he lay dying. Then he makes the trip to see Billie to tell her the private message for Dillinger. They're both hard men. Killers with a job to do. One on the side of law and the other on the side of crime.
@@natashanoray9532 No. He called his woman blackbird because of her black hair. He said bye bye blackbird and the agent told Billie the message Dillinger left for her. I thought it was cool because he didn't have to do that. He could have told his boss or the press what Dillinger said but he kept it a private message between Dillinger and Billie.
Alvin karpis, of the karpis-barker gang, was offered the sale of a Browning automatic rifle (BAR) by, (drum roll) Clyde Barrow. He said no to the offer, he said the were too heavy to run with or use in a bank robbery so he didn't buy one. he also said the vibes from bonnie and clyde were like from starved, mean coyotes and they gave him the willies. i read this in the book he wrote about alcatraz (i think).
Karpis met Bonnie & Clyde in Joplin and left town when he found out they were there. He said they would probably make the town hot, robbing drug stores with BARs. This was in his book, On the Rock
I always thought Depp too pretty to play Dillinger; they should have chosen Channing Tatum, who actually looks like Dillinger. Hair and makeup would have done the rest.
This documentary is waaay more interesting than the movie I tried to watch a month ago! 👍 I’m just not a fan of gangster movies but maybe I should try again.
I think you should try again bro. And another great gangster movie is American gangster with Denzel Washington. Go watch it bro and you will love it. And after that you realy should watch Heat with Al Pacino and Robert De Niro. Great masterpiece
Actually, Agent Winstead fired two bullets into Dillnger, and Agent Charles Hurt fired the third. Hurt was the one who held Dillingers head as he died. Mr Hurt was a famous Oklahoma lawman before he was an FBI agent. He retired to McAlester, Oklahoma, and died there in 1974.
*3:15** The actor the bar weighs 75 pounds it weights 20 pounds LOL* that could be a meme lol all actors are way shorter than I ever could have imagined growing up.
@@peytonashe5332 That's strange because so many sites have Johnny Depp at all different heights. 5'10, 5'8, 5'7. etc. It is written on some sites that Johnny Depp came to the John Dillinger Museum, and tried on the pants that John Dillinger had worn when he died that night. It said that Johnny Depp fit them perfectly, so who knows.
"... it was Winstead who fired three .45 bullets into Dillinger's head" that's a polite way of saying that Winstead assassinated Dillinger by shooting him in the back of the head.
i'm pretty sure two people shot dillinger, winstead but also clarence hurt, another one of the gunfighters hired from the oklahoma city police department. he's mentioned in passing in the movie.
Johnny depp are amazing singer movie star rock star guitar player I I write songs sings play electric guitar too when I get lots of money to move to Los Angeles Hollywood California for my movie career music career with my rock band Hollywood Dragons I am a part French part Cherokee Indian native American too I am biggest fan of Johnny depp I love Johnny depp too have a great day too ❤🎬♬♪♫🎤♩🎸
What bull...... Dillinger wasn't beaten by a gunfighter, he was assassinated. I always wondered about all the innocent bystanders shot/killed by the FBI at the time and what happened to their families. Were they ever compensated or was Hoover's ego too big to allow them to admit they ever made mistakes.

Great movie, John Dillinger was a very daring guy,, and John Depp played a great role

My favorite Johnny Depp movie!
I loved this movie, jd did a great performance, there is no doubt, that he is an extraordinary actor.
Micheal Mann shootout scenes are always the best.
This movie is absolutely fantastic & Johnny wow brilliant
❤ i lovee that Johnny got to know his firearms so well and was able to break down that RIFLE and i REALLY appreciate he called it a RIFLE.
The only Johnny Depp movie I have ever seen, it is just brilliant!
Just watched this film last night and I enjoyed all of it and it is one the best films ever in my opinion
This was a very good movie. Great actors.
Watched this movie last night. I loved it. It was done very well.
Michael Mann the best the best.. so realistic in guns effects... a genius!!
Great selection of music, especially the first scene in the orchard.
I just watched public enemies AGAIN last week. Love this. Very informative
This was so compelling and brilliant!
Great movie! One of my favourites!
Watching this in theaters in 2009 was stunning.
Love the 1887 shotgun that Steven Lang has.
1901 Winchester.
Both are based on the same design.
Their's only one man that can play John dillinger and that's Johnny. 😇💜you johnny.
Great movie..great cast..great story and of course Johnny is fantastic in the role 👏 😀
That ending gets me every time :'(
You think he knew his time was up?
He died like a gentleman
Big time
All his friends were captured or dead he definitely had an idea
No one gives credit to Don Frye. MMA Fighter and they cast him with Lang and he utters not a single word but his presence (for me) is huge.
Don Frye looks like G. Gordon Liddy.
Hell of a fighter, too.
RIP John Dillinger
He is so convincing..so real...what an actor...!!
Best movie i have ever seen i love old gangsters 👌💯

Forgot how effective the sound track was.
The TOMMY GUN is one of the most sexy lookin guns

The criminal element hasn’t diminished but has evolved. The ratio of federal funding of law enforcement to drug cartel budgets remains grossly out of proportion.
Heard an interesting comment about this years ago. Criminals don't need any budget approvals and quickly invest money to improve their "tools".
@Achilles 1776 if that is true, why do traffickers continue to operate?
Criminals have a much, much, much easier job. If I had to take five kilos of cocaine to another apartment across the city, without me being a known drug mule, I'd have a near 100% chance of succeeding. That's just one example, but it almost always works like that. As long as you're not a total fucking idiot, you have a very high chance of success.
