Public Enemies


I havent been to the cinema for quite some time now, the last time was when i watched transformers i reckon. So this is the first time i went to the cinema since i came back before the school term starts. Oh yes, i forgot to mention i watched Harry Potter's crappiest film. So that means this is the second film i watched since i came back. Btw, Harry Potter was so bad i just ignore reviewing it and refuse to acknowledge that it screened in the cinema.

Anyway, we're talking about Public Enemies here - a film with Johnny Depp and Christian Bale: what can go wrong right? well, actually it can. For a quick synopsis: it's another story about police and thief during the Great Depression where robbing banks seems like an easy way out to earn money. well just that it was based on a true story.

It's also a love story between Dillinger and Billie (Depp and the Marion), and how they eloped from the police. So, what went wrong? i would say that it is just personal preference but i find that the way they film the movie to be a tad too boring. No climax or tense music, just plain ol shooting like you're using a handycam.

The film depicted that the robbery was just this kind of legitimate way of earning (not a lot of) money, and that without morality you can't really tell the difference between a legal job and an illegal one. Sometimes without an absolute you just can't tell whether things are just plain black and white or are they grey.

Well, it's not bad a movie. though its not really mindblowing or whatsoever, it's still worth your money (which, i hope, you havent spent on watching Harry Potter).
