Public Enemies
RELEASE DATE: July 1
IN A NUTSHELL: Macho director Michael Mann (Miami Vice) adds his own adrenaline-pumping style to the Prohibition-era crime story of G-Man Melvin Purvis (Christian Bale) and his obsession to squash headline-making bank robber John Dillinger (Johnny Depp).
FOR YOU: If Depp as a gentleman thief isn’t enough of a draw, director Mann knows how to make an exciting genre film while never missing a beat of the human element, including the women characters, which makes him more interesting to female audiences. It’s not just about the bang-bang.
FOR THEM: Forget it! With its R rating, Enemies promises to be way too violent for children.
