Johnny Depp is back as Public Enemies


Johnny Depp is back in action. Ladies and gentlemen, I present you public enemies, a great story of an antihero during depression era around 1931 – 1935.

Now now…there’re a lot of talks and rants about the role of Christian Bale inside this movie lately. Most of it rambled about the disappearance of Bale’s picture inside the theatrical poster, the obscurity of the character, bla bla bla… Okay, I have a simple idea about this issue. Bale and Depp imposed two different set of charisma and impression towards the audience. Depp, obviously he could throw a sharp and striking impression inside posters. Something even Bale can do, but not something they can do together. That would be totally contradictory, don’t you think?

Or maybe… the movie is focusing mainly on John Dillinger (Johnny Depp) and not really into Melvin Purvis (Christian Bale). Anyway, this is just an opinion and the truth can only be revealed by the production itself. Who knows, maybe there’re marketing strategies behind the reasons which I’m not really aware of.

There’re a lot of disappointments in summer movies as we heard over the online social network or maybe some of you heard about it from friends or dedicated ‘movies watchers’. Many of us alleged that Hollywood movies quality are declining and not meeting public expectation. In short, Hollywood has become a public enemies. However, ‘Public Enemies’ are one of the summer movies that you should see, the on that would push the thought away.

Adapted from Bryan Burrough’s non-fiction book, ‘Public Enemies: America's Greatest Crime Wave and the Birth of the FBI, 1933–34’, it’s a historic story about a bank robber (John Dillinger) who was being chased by a FBI agent. But for those of you who are thinking of bringing your children to this movie, think twice, because this movie had been rated as full of violence and gangster scenes.

This movie has been rated 47 percent in tomatometer at Rotten Tomatoes and received 9.1/10 votes by 2154 voters in IMDB. So guys, it’s worth watching.

I’m going to watch the movie once it’s released in my country, and I hope, so were you. That’s all guys! Thanks for stopping by and please, please keep on reading Frosted Cigar for entertainment updates. See you guys.
