Public Enemies Directed by: Michael Mann Written by: Ronan Bennett, Michael Mann, Ann Biderman (screenplay), Bryan Burrough (book) Starring: Johnny Depp, Christian Bale, Marion Cotillard, Stephen Dorff, Channing Tatum, Billy Crudup, Leelee Sobieski, Giovanni Ribisi, Stephen Graham The prospect of Johnny Depp playing a 1930's gangster is probably all that was required to sell most people on Public Enemies, but with director Michael Mann (Heat, The Insider) at the helm, no one really knew whether to expect a summer action movie or a character-driven art piece. What's more, with the number of great gangster flicks that have been made over the years, Mann had his work cut out for him if he was hoping to create something that could measure up to some of the classics. His last film, Miami Vice, was a bit of a disappointment both critically and commercially despite having the star power of Colin Farrell and Jamie Foxx.

A shootout ensues as the gang heads for the getaway car, with Dillinger's mentor Walter Dietrich being shot down in the process. Soon after the prison break, Dillinger meets Billie Frechette (Marion Cotillard), who he quickly falls for and sweeps her off her feet. Dillinger and Billie enjoy luxuries and the high life, but never in one place for too long.
