Public Enemies Pimp! ;)
Sep. 12th, 2009 08:50 pmOkay, I’m going to pimp Public Enemies. What, you mean more than normal? ;) But I noticed that it’s in the ‘cheap theater’ around here and thought maybe it might be for others, too. If your ticket’s only 3 bucks or less, it’s worth seeing on the big screen, believe me. I know that people are waiting for the DVD or Netflix and that’s cool. I just think this film is well-suited to the big screen for action and scope.
I stand by the review (spoilers) I wrote a day after seeing the film, and my recommendations (spoiler-free) which I’ll quote here because they are part of the review entry:
If you’re a Christian Bale fan, you will love him in the clothes. Sorry, he never gets out of them. ;) He has a supporting role so isn’t in the film as often as Johnny Depp, but he was in it more than I expected. The lighting does him justice, and especially highlights his beautiful eyes in certain scenes. Hands are very yummily noticeable, too, not to mention other, um, assets. ;)
If you want to enjoy his beauty, go, but if you don’t like understated performances, perhaps this movie is not for you, Christian fan or not.
The violence wasn’t as bad as I expected. In fact, it wasn’t much worse than you would see on a Law & Order episode. I’d bet that the final scene in the ‘67 flick Bonnie & Clyde was bloodier.
If you love period pieces, this is a good film. If you have no interest, then you probably won’t like it.
If you know about John Dillinger’s story or want to learn more, this is a film that I would recommend.
Also, if you like slash… ;)
And now on to the slash couple that is my favorite (though you can slash more!):
