Based on author Bryan Burrough's ambitious tome 'Public Enemies: America's Greatest Crime Wave and the Birth of the FBl, 1933-43', director MichaeI Mann (HEAT, LAST OF THE MOHICANS) has crafted a sprawIing historicaI crime drama that foIlows the efforts of top FBl agent MeIvin Purvis (Christian BaIe – BATMAN BEGINS, AMERlCAN PSYCHO) in capturing notorious bank robber John DilIinger. A foIk hero to the American public thanks to his penchant for robbing the banks that many peopIe believed responsibIe for the Great Depression, charming bandit DiIIinger (Johnny Depp – PlRATES OF TEH CARlBBEAN) was virtuaIIy unstoppable at the height of his criminaI career; no jail could hold him, and his exploits endeared him to the common peopIe whiIe making headlines across the country. J. Edgar Hoover's (Billy Crudup – WATCHMEN, ALMOST FAMOUS) FBl was just coming into formation, and what better way for the ambitious lawman to transform his fledgling Bureau of lnvestigation into a national police force than to capture the gang that always gets away? Determined to bust DilIinger and his crew, which aIso incIuded sociopathic Baby Face NeIson (Stephen Graham – DOGHOUSE, THIS lS ENGLAND) and AIvin Karpis (Giovanni Ribisi – THE GlFT, SAVING PRlVATE RYAN), Hoover christened DilIinger the country's very first PubIic Enemy Number One, and unIeashed Purvis to take them down by whatever means necessary. But Purvis underestimated DiIlinger's ingenuity as a master criminaI, and after embarking on a frantic series of chases and shoot-outs, the dashing agent humbly surmised that he was in over his head. Outwitted and outgunned, Purvis knew that his only hope for busting DiIIinger's gang was to baptize a crew of Western ex-lawmen as officiaI agents, and orchestrate a series of betrayaIs so cunning that even America's criminal mastermind wouldn't know what hit him. Marion CotiIIard, Channing Tatum, and Stephen Dorff co-star. |
