Public Enemies 6/10
Johnny Depp played his part really well but Christian Bale kind of sucked. It's a movie about the early days of the FBI and the manhunt for John Dillinger (Depp). While the action sequences were cool, the story itself deviated too far from reality for me to fully enjoy it. I'm not asking for a made for History Channel biography but they certainly could've done a lot better job with the facts pertaining to the story. Between that, and Bale's performance, I could only give the movie a 6. British actors should not attempt to do Southern accents.
Also, I know they were semi-folk heroes at the time or whatever, but the way that Depp played Dillinger I almost felt sympathetic towards a guy that robbed banks and shot people in cold blood for a living. Again, it's a movie but I think the glorification should've been a bit more muted...
