Public Enemies

It's a good movie---certainly an entertaining summer movie. It will not make movie history, but I was entertained for 2 1/2 hours. What more do you want in July?

I never know how historical these movies are. The basic facts are correct I'm sure, but I don't know about all of the details.

Did the jail breaks really happen? Did most of his Dillinger's friends get killed before he did? What about his dying words?

One thing about this movie is that we all know how it's going to end---a sure matter of history. So there is no suspense here. Maybe that's why they had to add his supposed dying words.

The best acting performace is not Johnny Depp, but the guy who plays Agent Melvin Purvis. If there is an acting Academy Award nomination, he should get it.

See it to be pleasantly entertained and that's all.
